Intro
Ho, hisse, ho
Ho, hose, ho
Ho, hisse, ho
Ho, hose, ho
Ho, hisse, ho
Ho, hose, ho
Marchant par-dessus les tempêtes
Walking over storms
Courant dans la vague et le vent
Running in the wave and wind
Chassant les blanches goélettes
Chasing white schooners
C'est nous, ceux du gaillard d'avant
It's us, the ones of the guy before
C'est nous qui sommes les corsaires
We're the privateers
Brigands tout comme étaient nos pères
Brigands just like our fathers were
Ho, hisse et ho, miséricorde
Ho, ho and ho, mercy
Pour nous tenir au bout d'une corde
To hold us at the end of a rope
Faudra d'abord nous attraper
We'll have to catch us first
Faudra d'abord nous aborder
We will have to address
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon noir
Ho, ho, ho, black flag
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon haut
Ho, ho, ho, high flag
Tant que le vent pousse la frégate
As long as the wind pushes the frigate
Y a du bon temps pour les pirates
There's a good time for pirates
Tant que la mer est par-dessous
As long as the sea is below
C'est le corsaire qui tient l' bon bout
It's the privateer who's on the right track
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon noir
Ho, ho, ho, black flag
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon haut
Ho, ho, ho, high flag
Tant pis pour les yeux de ta mère
Too bad for your mother's eyes
Tant pis pour la reine et le roi
Too bad for the queen and the king
Tant mieux si tu deviens corsaire
Good if you become a privateer
Jésus était un hors-la-loi
Jesus was an outlaw
Viens donc fréquenter les étoiles
Why don't you come and hang out with the stars?
Dormir dans le ventre des voiles
Sleeping in the belly of the sails
Ho, hisse et ho, miséricorde
Ho, ho and ho, mercy
Pour nous tenir au bout d'une corde
To hold us at the end of a rope
Faudra d'abord nous attraper
We'll have to catch us first
Faudra d'abord nous aborder
We will have to address
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon noir
Ho, ho, ho, black flag
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon haut
Ho, ho, ho, high flag
Tant que le vent pousse la frégate
As long as the wind pushes the frigate
Y a du bon temps pour les pirates
There's a good time for pirates
Tant que la mer est par-dessous
As long as the sea is below
C'est le corsaire qui tient l' bon bout
It's the privateer who's on the right track
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon noir
Ho, ho, ho, black flag
Ho, hisse, ho, pavillon haut
Ho, ho, ho, high flag
