Original lyrics
Pirates of the Mediterranean
Mare, mare, mare…
Mare, mare,
Amāre tē, est mors certa,
Ah dēceptrīx!
Meminī tot nautās,
Fuisse amōrōsōs
Dein Sīrēn cantāvit,
Iam sepulcrum es,
Dēceptrīx!
Amāre mare’st amor,
Mōrōsus,
Quod amor marium amārum est,
Amāre mare’st amor,
Mōrōsus,
Quod mar’amat hominēs amārē!
Puella mea’st Marīa,
Plōrat mē adeunte maria,
Marīa puella mea’st, Jūdaeae,
Epona’st puella mea, Gallica
Rūfus meus cinaedus est,
Et Lunja’st puella mea, Libyca
Procellae, tempestātēs,
Spolia, praedae,
Sumus crassī,
Quamquam mundus est lutārius,
Mundus sum, fīlius Neptūnius!
- Sumus crassī,:
A double meaning can be inferred here as the term can be translated both to plump/fat, or Crassuses as in the plural of Crassus, the richest man in the time of the Republic.

Pirates of the Mediterranean
Sea, sea, sea…
Sea, sea,
Loving you is certain death,
Ah, deceiver!
I remember, all those sailors who were amorous,
Then the Siren sang
Now you’re a sepulchre, deceiver!
Sea, sea,
Loving you is certain death,
Ah, deceiver!
Loving the sea is capricious love,
For the love of the sea is bitter,
Loving the sea is capricious love,
For the sea loves men bitterly!
Sea, sea,
Loving you is certain death,
Ah, deceiver!
Maria is my girl,
She weeps when I go to the seas,
Maria, she’s my Jewish girl,
Epona is my Gaulish girl,
Rufus is my catamite,
And Lunja is my Lybian girl,
Sea, sea,
Loving you is certain death,
Ah, deceiver!
Storms and tempests,
Spoils and plunder, we are plump!
Though the Earth is filthy,
I am clean, a son of Neptune!
