El hijo del Capitán Trueno [English translation]

The son of Captain Thunder

was never a son worthy of his father.

He came out a poet and not a fiend,

the son of his mother.

The son of Captain Thunder

never wanted to be a sailor.

He didn't embark on adventures.

He raised doubts.

The son of Captain Thunder

had something that made him different,

as different as everyone is

from what has never been seen.

And he spent hours amidst the whales

and hybridised himself on its own and always with mermaids,

and leaning on the lighthouse he sang like this:

In the ocean, I get lost.

I see the ocean and I don't know.

So incredibly vast.

So respectable

that I won't sail it.

I won't sail.

I won't sail it.

The son of Captain Thunder

had at least one ring on each finger

and one earring on each ear, yes,

but how brave!

The son of Captain Thunder

had some fame and looked like a weirdo

and he made everyone see

it wasn't a bad thing.

And thus he loved to be amidst whales

and he specialised in conquering mermaids,

and at night in the lighthouse, he sang like this.

And he spent hours amidst his whales.

With art, he seduced all the mermaids.

From the top of the lighthouse, he sang to them like this, like this.

In the ocean, I get lost.

I see the ocean and I don't know.

So incredibly big and so vast.

So respectable

that I won't sail it.

In the ocean, I get lost.

I see the ocean and I don't know.

So incredibly big and so vast.

So respectable

that I won't sail it.

I won't sail.

I won't sail it.

I won't sail.

I won't sail it!

So incredibly big and so vast.

So respectable

that I won't sail it.
