El Barco Del Rey

There are incomprehensible loves
And friendships that will not die
There are bonds that are unbreakable
Like that of a ship and its captain

A ship deserves a baptism
Celebrated on his home island
It must also have a fixed name
And the honor of having a funeral

He who does not respect his ship
Let some hurricane devour it
And whoever does not repair and attend to it
Let the kings of the sea swallow him

Each piece in his helmet is an offering
That you must take care of her and honor her

The rudder of a ship guides
To his crew
Directs you to each bay
Its mast inspires fear

From the mizzen to the mainmast
Be it frigate or galleon

The three sails of the sailboat are its wings when flying
And in its anchor tied to the sweetness of this sea

The rigging is made of strong tendons
The joint ends

The body of a ship is its hull
And the keel is its heart

Their cannons defend them from shooting at the ruffian
And his insignia is the flag that empowers the captain

The deck of a ship is a kingdom
Well, it is governed by its own law

And the forecastle is the top
His bowsprit is the king's throne

He who does not respect his ship
Let some hurricane devour it
And whoever does not repair and attend to it
Let the kings of the sea swallow him

If you take care of it, it may surprise you
And he wants to give his life for you

Caravels have been overrun
By a geyser from the abyssal bed
And they repaired their faults
They did not want to find their end

And sloops were stranded
Between rocks after the storm
And they hurried back to the waters
As proof of his loyalty

Brigantines have been lost
Sailing without a crew
And they seek their owner tempted
For his warm big heart

He who does not respect his ship
Let some hurricane devour it
And whoever does not repair and attend to it
Let the kings of the sea swallow it

Every boat asks you for ten things
If you comply with them you will be able to navigate
They will not be expensive demands
Take note to remember

Helmsman to lead me to a safe harbor
Carpenter who knows how to take care
Navigator who reads in the wind which is the course that I must take
Cook who nourishes my people
A doctor who can heal them
Gunner who is not lenient if there is a fight you have to counterattack
Scholar who tells legends
And if there is a musician you will have to sing
A master who hoists my sails following the guidelines of his captain

There are those who say that a ship chooses you
There are those who swear that you have to tame it
More if he lets you paint his sails
It will be proof that you have to travel

You can surf the tides together
And find the end of the seas
