Lyrics

Este marinero está borracho,
(¿qué se puede hacer con el muchacho?)
este marinero está borracho,
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Déjalo en un bote en medio de la tormenta,
(déjalo en un bote en medio de la tormenta)
déjale en un bote en medio de la tormenta
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Mételo en un cofre y tira la llave,
(mételo en un cofre y tira la llave)
mételo en un cofre y tira la llave
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Ponlo a limpiar los escupitajos,
(y haz que se coma el estropajo)
ponlo a limpiar los escupitajos
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Cuélgalo del mástil por las patas,
(ponlo en la bodega con las ratas)
no se va a dejar si no lo atas
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Métele un cangrejo en los calzoncillos,
(rápale la barba con un cuchillo)
encierralo en el tigre, que le saque brillo
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Úntale con alquitran las cejas,
(quítale el pendiente de la oreja)
tíñele el bigote si se deja
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, levamos anclas
hey ho, el viento crece
hey, ho, y a toda vela
desde que amanece
Hey, ho, se acaba el whisky,
(el ron desaparece)
potando por la borda
desde que amanece

Lyrics translation

This sailor is drunk.,
(what can be done with the boy?)
this sailor is drunk.,
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Leave it in a boat in the middle of the storm,
(leave it in a boat in the middle of the storm)
leave him in a boat in the middle of the storm
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Put it in a chest and throw away the key,
(put it in a chest and throw away the key)
put it in a chest and throw away the key
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Get him to clean the spittoons.,
(and make him eat the rag)
get him to clean the spittoons.
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Hang it from the mast by the legs,
(put it in the cellar with the rats)
he's not gonna leave if you don't tie him up.
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Put a crab in his underwear,
(quicken the beard with a knife)
lock him in the tiger, let him shine
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Grease her eyebrows with tar,
(remove the earring from his ear)
dye his mustache if he leaves
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Hey, ho, we got anchors.
hey ho, the wind is growing
hey, ho, and Full Sail
since dawn
Hey, ho, we're out of whiskey.,
(the rum disappears)
pruning overboard
since dawn
