It’s talk like a pirate day. Every other day is, of course, ninja day.
A certain lass sent me a Facebook reminder that today, September 19th, is Talk Like a Pirate Day. To get into the spirit you may want to look into a couple of Pirate translators, either here or here. Naturally, these sites take your proper, landlocked English and make it seaworthy.
I should also pass on a translation the maiden forwarded to me:
Freegull
If I make port here next high tide’
Would ye still reckon me?
Fer I must be sailin’ on, now,
`Cause thar`s too many ports I`ve got t’ be seein’.
But, if I stayed here wi’ ye, lass,
Thin’s jus’ couldna be th’ same.
`Cause I be as free as a gull now,
An’ this gull ye canna change.
Begad, I canna change.Arrrr, arrrr, its been a sweet love.
Tho this feelin’ I canna change.
But dasn’t loot ‘t badly,
`Cause Begad I be t’ blame.
But, if I stayed here wi’ ye lass,
Thin’s jus’ couldna be th’ same.
Cause I be as free as a gull now,
An’ this gull ye`ll nerechange.
An’ this gull ye canna change.
Begad, I canna change.
Gad help me, I canna change.
