Anonymous - Santianna [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

O! Santianna fought for fame!
Away Santianna!
And Santianna gained a name
All on the plains of Mexico!
Mexico, Mexico
Away Santianno!
Mexico is a place I know!
All on the plains of Mexico!
O! Santianna had a wooden leg
Heave away, Santianna!
He used it for a cribbage peg
All on the plains of Mexico!

[Chorus]:
Heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave away, Santianna!
Heave her up, and away we'll go
All on the plains of Mexico

O! Santianna fought for his gold
Heave away, Santianna!
The deeds he did have oft been told
All on the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]

O! Santianna gain'd the day
Heave away, Santianna!
He gain'd the day at Molly-Del-Rey*
All on the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]

He won the day at Molly-Del-Rey
Heave away, Santianna!
And General Taylor he ran away
All on the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]

O! Santianna fought for his life
Heave away, Santianna!
He gained his way in the terrible strife
All on the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]

O! Santianna's men were brave
Heave away, Santianna!
Many found a hero's grave
All on the plains of Mexico!

[Chorus]

O! Santianna's day is o'er
Heave away, Santianna!
Santianna will fight no more
All on the plains of Mexico!

[Chorus]

O! Santianna's day is gorn
Heave away, Santianna!
We left him buried off Cape Horn
All on the plains of Mexico!

[Chorus]

We dug his grave with a golden spade
Heave away, Santianna!
And marked the spot where he was laid
All on the plains of Mexico
