Example Translations

As he came into thar window
It be thar sound o' a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He port thar bloodstains on thar carpet
She ran underneath thar table

So she ran into thar bedroom
She be struck down, it be her doom

So, Annie be ye ok
Be ye ok, Annie
Annie, be ye ok?
So, Annie be ye ok
Be ye ok, Annie

If me be yer boyfriend, I'd nary let ye sail
me can take ye places ye ain't nary been afore
Baby, take a chance or you'll nary ever know
me got doubloons in me hands that I'd verily like t' blow
Swag, swag, swag, on ye
Chillin' by thar fire while our jolly crew eatin' fondue
me don't know about me but me know about ye
So cry ahoy t' falsetto in three, two, swag
