What should one do when darkens the sky When in the horizon enemies' sails arise? What should one do when there is a need To fool the approaching death, to do a hero's deed? We rule the Seven Seas! Swords high for our Queen! Shout for what we live: Rum, women, victory! Shout for what we live: Rum, women, victory! What should one do when the answer's not there On the highest mountain, or the deepest sea bed? What should one do if not fully alive? Face looming death with a grin and the nectar of courage We rule the Seven Seas! Swords high for our Queen! Shout for what we live: Rum, women, victory! Shout for what we live: Rum, women, victory! We rule the Seven Seas! Swords high for our Queen! Shout for what we live: Rum, women, victory! Shout for what we live: Rum, women, victory!
