Shogun (1980) “Treacherous Sea of Cathay”
Letra de la canción que aparece en la serie Shogun
copyright 1980 Paramount Home Video
I promised her rings for her fingers
Sparkling flowers for her flaxen hair
I swore that I’d never
Set sail in foul weather
But stay by her side at the shore
Fare thee well oh you Barbary merchants
Fare thee well to the Spanish blockade
Fare thee well to the straits of Gibraltar
And thee treacherous seas of Cathay
I gave her my word to be married
And took her sweet vow in return
I swore that I’d never
Set sail in foul weather
But stay by her side at the shore
Fare thee well oh you Barbary merchants
Fare thee well to the Spanish blockade
Fare thee well to the straits of Gibraltar
And thee treacherous seas of Cathay
I built her a cottage in Chatham
Gave her children to sit by the fire
I swore that I’d never
Set sail in foul weather
But stay by her side at the shore
Fare thee well oh you Barbary merchants
Fare thee well to the Spanish blockade
Fare thee well to the straits of Gibraltar
And thee treacherous seas of Cathay
But our cottage is too small for a sailor
Without the blue sea and the sky
Though I swore that I’d never
Set sail in foul weather
I left her behind at the shore
