COWBOYS OF THE SEA
They ride beneath the waves at 20,000 leagues
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands
So smiling, so smiling
They herd the fishes of the deep
They ride for you and me
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil
At the bottom of the sea
In the dead of night, alive in sleep
I hear them calling me
Them deep sea desperadoes
Them midnight maelstrom freaks
The cowboys of the sea
So on wings of sleep I pierce the deep
And ride like a hurricane
At midnight still I paid my bill
And turned my back on the land
With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag
Its just Jesse James and me
We ride the depths and rob the banks
At the bottom of the sea
With a seaman's grip on navigation
And some fired, hired hands
We set forth to confront the nation
And lend a cowboy's hand
We do the dolphin's dance duet
My mermaid babe and me
Then I ride off into the blue sunset
At the bottom of the sea
And with the seaman's grip on submarining
And some aqualung outlaws
Our guns are made of solid dreamin'
And bullets of the cause
And with hand held high to touch the sky
A good Texas Ranger I'll be
But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger
'Midst the cowboys of the sea
Oh and man above he cannot make love
He's must rape his mother sea
And because of his greed
We're a vanishing breed
We cowboys of the sea
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands
So smiling, so smiling
They herd the fishes of the deep
They ride for you and me
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil
At the bottom of the sea
In the dead of night, alive in sleep
I hear them calling me
Them deep sea desperadoes
Them midnight maelstrom freaks
The cowboys of the sea
So on wings of sleep I pierce the deep
And ride like a hurricane
At midnight still I paid my bill
And turned my back on the land
With the help of Old Paint, that seaweed nag
Its just Jesse James and me
We ride the depths and rob the banks
At the bottom of the sea
With a seaman's grip on navigation
And some fired, hired hands
We set forth to confront the nation
And lend a cowboy's hand
We do the dolphin's dance duet
My mermaid babe and me
Then I ride off into the blue sunset
At the bottom of the sea
And with the seaman's grip on submarining
And some aqualung outlaws
Our guns are made of solid dreamin'
And bullets of the cause
And with hand held high to touch the sky
A good Texas Ranger I'll be
But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger
'Midst the cowboys of the sea
Oh and man above he cannot make love
He's must rape his mother sea
And because of his greed

We cowboys of the sea
VAQUEROS DEL OCÉANO
Cabalgaron bajo las olas durante 20.000 leguas
Sobre sementales cosidos a algas abandonadas
Tan sonrientes, tan felices
Escucharon a los peces de las cavernas
Cabalgaron para ti y para mí
Vencieron a los ricos y hundieron sus tierras
Hasta el fondo del mar
En la mortecina noche, sobreviviendo al sueño
Les oigo llamándome
Aquellos forajidos de las profundidades
Aquellos deformes demonios de la medianoche
Los vaqueros del océano
Así, sobre las alas del sueño alcanzo los abismos
Y avanzo como un huracán
En la quietud de la medianoche pago mi deuda
Y le doy la espalda a la tierra
Con la ayuda de Old Paint, y las pesadas algas
Sólo estamos Jesse James y yo
Y cabalgamos por barrancos y robamos los bancos
Del fondo del mar
Con el control de navegación de un lobo de mar
Y unas ardientes, arrendadas manos
Decidimos desde ese día hacer frente a la nación
Y echar una mano a los vaqueros
Danzamos el baile de los dos delfines
Mi pequeña sirena y yo
Y entonces me dirigí hasta el crepúsculo azul
Del fondo del mar
Con el control de navegación submarina de un lobo de mar
Y algunas escafandras condenadas
Nuestras armas están hechas de sólidos sueños
Y las balas de la razón
Y alzando las manos hasta alcanzar el cielo
Me convertiré en un buen Ranger de Texas
Pero a veces me siento un solitario desconocido
Perdido junto a los vaqueros del océano
Y puesto que el Señor de arriba no pueda amar
Debe forzar a su madre Mar
Y por culpa de su codicia
Somos una raza que se extingue
Nosotros, los vaqueros del océano
