Песенка про капитана (English version)

Captain Brave
(Дунаевский Исаак, Лебедев-Кумач Василий)
Английский текст Алекс Ар Дайхес

1. There was the captain Brave.
He had crossed all ocean waves,
And was known in many lands in a way.
Fifteen times he was to sink.
Sharks could eat him in a wink,
But the scare never got from him a thing.
And in peace, and in a war
He sang his most lovely song again and more.

Refrain:
Captain Brave, captain Brave, give a nice smile,
Because a smile is the flag of your ship.
Captain Brave, captain Brave, cheer up awhile,
All seas surrender only to the brave.

2. Once he reached the distant land,
Met a girl on golden sand,
Fell in love like a diffident cadet.
Fifteen times he tried to tell
What a love that him befell,
Yet not a smile he dared give the girl, oh well.
He grew sad, he felt bad,
But no one could sing his song to make him glad:

Refrain:
Captain Brave, captain Brave, give a nice smile,
Because a smile is the flag of your ship.
Captain Brave, captain Brave, cheer up awhile,
All seas surrender only to the brave.
