Il rock di Capitan Uncino [English translation]

Crew!... what is this silence?!

Wake up!... everybody report to me!...

Mr. Smee!... filthy rogue…

… how come nobody is moving?!

Am I or am I not the commander

of this stinking ship?!

of this stinking ship?!

Am I Captain Hook or not, ah?

then when I call you

leave everything and come

and be quick 'cause

I'll eat whoever comes late!

So, who gives me

news about Peter Pan?

I want him alive tho’

when I’ll catch him I dunno

what I’ll do to him!

He mocks me,

he acts as a bully 'cause

those pack of snotties

they listen to him,

they think he’s a hero!

But he’s only a nobody,

an exhibitionist,

of all my enemies

he’s the most dangerous,

the first on list!

Do you think this is right?

during a duel

he cut my hand,

gave it as a meal to that

goddamned crocodile!

He’ll regret it,

I’ll make him pay for it,

with my own hands

or rather, with my hook

I’ll have to slaughter him!

He’s in sight!... It’s him with all his gang!

Better so this time he’ll surrender!

I want no prisoners!... all I need is an hostage!

You are righteous, remember!

Get on with the attack! Get on with the attack!

Am I Captain Hook or not, ah?

then proceed with the chorus,

sing and repeat with me

those lines I taught you!

True pirates we are, we fight against the system,

we do train at school to make ourselves tough

to be scarier!... What’s wrong with this?

What’s odd in this? We make a big mess

but we do work for Captain Hook!

I’m the teacher of revolution,

I’m the theory of piracy,

the enlightening beam!

Do you get it or not? I’ll teach you again!

To shake people you need no speech,

you need bombs!

I’ve been a rich person, lacking of nothing

but I’m spending all father’s money

here fighting on the front!

Whoever enlists will get a cool tattoo

but from that plank whoever won’t sign

I’ll drop down to the sea!

You being lazy, eh?

I sacrifice for you

And this is how you thank me?

Come on! Come on, dirty crew!

True pirates we are, we fight against the system,

we do train at school to make ourselves tough

to be scarier!

What’s wrong with this?

What’s odd in this? We make a big mess

but we do work for Captain Hook!
