Pirate of Penance («Song To A Seagull» 1968, tr.08)

Penance crane:
The pirate anchored on a wednesday
And why he came to port I wonder
To see a lady so my friends say
She dances for the sailors
In a smoky cabaret bar underground
Down in a cellar in a harbor town
I know he told her love was treasure
And they would reap the fullest bounty
He [bad word] to port for pleasure
So when the winds of morning
Blew the curtains in she woke and found he'd gone
I saw his sails unfurling thursday dawn
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss
He'll steal your heart and sail away

The dancer:
Saturday early we met in the cove near the forest

Penance:
He'll leave you drowning in the flotsam of a broken promise in the bay

The dancer:
(dancing we wakened the dawn and the birds into [bad word] 

Penance:
He came again to see her
Yes I think they told me it was saturday

The dancer:
(ask penance crane she was out in her garden she saw us)

Penance:
I was at sea then
I didn't see them
I don't believe what you are saying
It isn't [bad word] I hardly knew him
Is this some game that you are playing
Go ask the dancer she's the one who saw him last
The one who drew him here
He [bad word] to me since spring last year
There was a time when he would
Bring me silks and sandalwood and persian lace

The dancer:
(then came another goodbye and another please don't go)

Penance:
And he would hold me close
And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace

The dancer:
(all night I dance and all day I keep watch with my sorrow)

Penance:
I was at sea I tell you I was
Nowhere near the mentioned murder place

The dancer:
(searching for sails that [bad word] And I guess but I don't know)

Penance:
Go ask the dancer
She knows the answer

The dancer:
I don't know

Penance:
She knows the answer

The dancer:
I don't know

Penance:
She knows the answer

The dancer:
I don't know
