Songs I - Sailor's Song, Hob. XXVIa: 31 (歌曲集 第一集 - 水手之歌,作品26a之31) (1794 - 95) - Elly Ameling/Jörg Demus

Lyrics by:Anne Hunter

Composed by:Franz Joseph Haydn

High on the giddy bending mast

The seaman furls the rending sail

And fearless of the rushing blast

He careless whistles to the gale

Rattling ropes and rolling seas

Hurlyburly hurlyburly

War nor death can him displease

Can him displease

Hurlyburly hurlyburly

Hurlyburly hurlyburly

War nor death can him displease

Can him displease

Can him displease

The hostile foe his vessel seeks

High bounding o'er the raging main

The roaring cannon loudly speaks

'Tis Britain's glory we maintain

'Tis Britain's glory we maintain

Rattling ropes and rolling seas

Hurlyburly hurlyburly

War nor death can him displease

Can him displease

Hurlyburly hurlyburly

Hurlyburly hurlyburly

War nor death can him displease

Can him displease

Can him displea
