Chased by Spanish ships

No chance to win a fight

They are catching up

And soon comes the night

A storm rages in the west

The sea demonstrates all its force

The only chance to escape

‘Captain orders to change the course

REF

Into the storm leads the trip

A torture for the ship

We beg for mercy from the sea

We will be dead or free

Waves are getting high

The wind shakes the masts

Water spills on deck

Increasingly the storm blasts

Furl the sails so the masts don’t break

Go under deck and begin to scull

Steer the ship against the waves

Pump the water out of the hull

REF

Suddenly, it gets silent

We reached the eye

The hope to survive fades

We get ready to die

Crew! Hold your positions!

There’s no time to get tired!

The second half is in front of us

Your reserves are now required

Dying is the day

Worth living for

We go back

Into the storm!

The Storm gets stronger

Waves hit from the side

The pumps are too slow

Too much water comes inside

‘Helmsman can’t hold the rudder

The sea floods the deck

Finally, it keels over

We all sink with the wreck
