가사
(Verse 1)
On the rolling waves, where the ocean’s blue,
Lived a sad old dolphin, with a heart so true.
He swam through the sea, with a sorrowful song,
And a mean old turtle, where the rum flowed strong.
(Chorus)
Oh, the dolphin sighs, in the moon’s soft light,
While the turtle grumbles through the endless night.
With a jug of rum and a sea-bound wail,
They sing their shanty on the stormy trail.
(Verse 2)
The dolphin’s fins are heavy, with a tale of old,
Of a love lost deep in the ocean’s fold.
The turtle's temper’s fierce, and his scowl is grim,
But with rum in his shell, he’ll sing along with him.
(Chorus)
Oh, the dolphin sighs, in the moon’s soft light,
While the turtle grumbles through the endless night.
With a jug of rum and a sea-bound wail,
They sing their shanty on the stormy trail.
(Verse 3)
They meet at the reef, where the sea foam flies,
With a bottle of rum and tears in their eyes.
The turtle’s growls mix with the dolphin’s blue,
As they drink to their woes, beneath the sky so true.
(Chorus)
Oh, the dolphin sighs, in the moon’s soft light,
While the turtle grumbles through the endless night.
With a jug of rum and a sea-bound wail,
They sing their shanty on the stormy trail.
(Bridge 1)
Through the stormy seas and the waves so high,
They share their troubles under the starlit sky.
The dolphin’s sadness, and the turtle’s wrath,
Both drowned in rum as they chart their path.
(Verse 4)
The dolphin’s eyes glisten, as he sings his song,
Of a love that once was, and a sea so long.
The turtle’s anger softens with each rum-filled swig,
And they find a strange solace, in the moon’s soft gig.
(Chorus)
Oh, the dolphin sighs, in the moon’s soft light,
While the turtle grumbles through the endless night.
With a jug of rum and a sea-bound wail,
They sing their shanty on the stormy trail.
(Bridge 2)
When the waves grow calm and the stars are bright,
The turtle’s scowl fades in the gentle light.
The dolphin’s sorrow eases with each ocean swell,
In the warmth of friendship, where their troubles dwell.
(Verse 5)
As dawn breaks through, and the night’s shadows wane,
The dolphin and the turtle are free from their pain.
They dance on the waves, where the morning sun gleams,
Their rum-filled shanty now a chorus of dreams.
(Chorus)
Oh, the dolphin sighs, in the moon’s soft light,
While the turtle grumbles through the endless night.
With a jug of rum and a sea-bound wail,
They sing their shanty on the stormy trail.
(Outro)
So here’s to the dolphin and the turtle so mean,
With their rum-soaked tales and the ocean scene.
May their shanty be sung by the waves and the breeze,
Of the sad dolphin and the turtle with the rum-soaked pleas.
(Final Chorus)
Oh, the dolphin smiles, in the morning’s embrace,
While the turtle laughs, in the new day’s grace.
With a jug of rum and their hearts set free,
They sing their shanty for the whole sea.
