Kapitana v tot den' nazyvali na "ty"
Shkiper s yungoy sravnyalis' v talantakh
Raspryamlyaya khrebty i sryvaya binty
Besnovalis' matrosy na vantakh

Dveri nashikh mozgov
Posryvalo s petel'
V mirazhi beregov
V pokryvala zemel'
Etikh obetovannykh, zhelannykh
I kolumbovykh, i magellannykh

Tol'ko mne beregov
Ne vidat' i zemel'
S khoda v devyat' uzlov
Sel po gorlo na mel'!
A u vsekh molodtsov
Blagorodnaya tsel'
I v kontse-to kontsov
Ya ved' sam sel na mel'

I ushli korabli - moi brat'ya, moy flot
Kto chuvstvitel'ney - bryzgi sglotnuli
Bez menya prodolzhalsya velikiy pokhod
Na menya zh parusami makhnuli

I pogodu i sluchay
Bezbozhno klyanya
Moi pasynki kuchey
Brosali menya
Vot so shlyupok dva zalpa - i ladno!
Ot Kolumba i ot Magellana

Ya p'yu penu - volna
Ne dokhodit do rta
I ot palub do dna
Obnazhilis' borta
A boka moi gryazny
Tai ne tai
Tak lyubuytes' na yazvy
I rany moi!

Vot dyra u rebra - eto sled ot yadra
Vot rubtsy ot tarana, i dazhe
Vidny shramy ot kryuch'yev - kakoy-to pirat
Mne khrebet perebil v abordazhe

Kil' - kak staryy nerovnyy
Gitarovyy grif
Eto bryukho vsporol mne
Korallovyy rif
Zadykhayus', gniyu - tak byvayet
I prosolennoye zagnivayet

Vetry krov' moyu p'yut
I skvoz' shcheli snuyut
Pryamo s baka na yut
Menya vetry dob'yut
Ya pod nimi stoyu
Ot utra do utra
Gvozdi v dushu moyu
Zabivayut vetra

I gulyakoy shal'nym vse shvyryayut vverkh dnom
Eti vetry - nezvanyye gosti
Zakhlebnut'sya by im v moikh tryumakh vinom
Ili - s meli sorvat' menya v zlosti!

Ya uveroval v eto
Kak zagnannyy zver'
No ne zlobnyye vetry
Nuzhny mne teper'
Moi machty - kak dryablyye ruki
Parusa - slovno grudi starukhi

Budet chudo vos'moye
I dobryy priboy
Moye telo omoyet
Zhivoyu vodoy
Morya bozh'ya rosa
S menya snimet tabu
Vzduyet mne parusa
Slovno zhily na lbu

Dogonyu ya svoikh, dogonyu i proshchu
Pozabyvshuyu pomnit' armadu
I komandu svoyu ya obratno pushchu
Ya ved' zla ne derzhu na komandu

Tol'ko, kazhetsya, net
Bol'she mesta v stroyu
Plokho shutish', korvet
Potesnis' - raskroyu!

Kak zhe tak - ya vash brat
Ya ushel ot bedy
Poleveye, fregat
Vsem nam khvatit vody!

Do chego zh vy doshli
Znachit, chto - mne uyti?
Yesli byl na meli
Dal'she netu puti?
Razomknite ryady
Vse zhe my - korabli
Vsem nam khvatit vody
Vsem nam khvatit zemli
Etoy obetovannoy, zhelannoy
I kolumbovoy, i magellannoy!
