Music: Liam Gerner/Román Lacrouts
Just the cold waves rolling along the low tide
And the silver sand shining bright from sunrise
Lights up grey scrub on the dark mountainside its a gold sign
" I'm alive, estoy vivo mama, must be a sign i'm alive."
As a convict I built boats from Huon pine
In Macquarie Harbour for Britain's Empire.
Hell they left us alone to build their last ship, so we stole it.
" We're alive, estamos Vivos Arthur, must be a sign we're alive "
Yeah we cast off the brass with half our supplies
"Have a nice hike back to old Hell Hole-bart guys"
Then we raised mast and hauled asse, no maps just stars as our sole guide
" We're alive, estamos vivos Chile. Sunk that ship when we arrived."
I'm an Irishman drinking free wine
Not a convict who aint done my time.
Spend my life dancing cueca free with my amor here in Chile
Aint no empire's gonna take my life, ain't no empires gonna take mine
Baila, baila, baila, toda la noche
Baila, baila, baila, con migo mi amor
Baila, baila, baila, toda la noche
Baila, baila, baila, con migo mi amor
