A chant for the sailors
of all nations
This song for mariners
and all their ships
I behold the mariners of the world
sailors of many a ship
Sea-captains young or old
and the mates
The whale-crews of the south Pacific
and the north Atlantic
and all intrepid sailors
Suckled by thee, old husky nurse.
Embodying thee, indomitable,
untamed as thee
Enjoyers of calms of seas
and storms of seas.
