Con diez cañones por banda
Viento en popa a toda vela
No corta el mar si no vuela
Un velero bergantín
Bajel pirata que llaman
Por su bravura el temido
En todo el mar conocido
Del uno al otro confín

La luna en el mar riela
En una lona gime el viento
Y al alza un blando movimiento
Olas de plata y azul
Y va el capitán pirata
Cantando alegre en la popa
Asia a un lado y al otra europa
Y allá su frente stambul

Navega velero mió
Sin temor que ni enemigo navío
Ni tormenta ni bonanza
Tu rumbo a torcer alcanza
Ni a sujetar tu valor
Veinte presas hemos hecho
A despecho del ingles
Y han rendido sus pendones
Cien naciones a mis pies

Que es mi barco mi tesoro
Que es mi dios mi libertad
Mi ley la fuerza y el viento
Mi única patria la mar

Allá muevan feroz guerras
Ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra
Que yo tengo aquí por mió
Cuanto abarca el mar bravío
Aquí nadie impuso leyes
Y no hay playa sea cualquiera
Ni bandera de esplendor
Que no sienta mi derecho
Y de pecho a mi valor

Que es mi barco mi tesoro
Que es mi dios mi libertad
Mi ley la fuerza y el viento
Mi única patria la mar

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
