18世纪皇家海军船歌《Spanish ladies》，据说是英国皇家海军来到伊比利亚半岛帮助西班牙后返航时所唱，歌词如下：
Farewell and adiu to you，Spanish ladies
(就此永别了，西班牙女郎)
Farewell and adiu to you，ladies of Spain
(就此永别吧，西班牙女郎)
For we`ve received oders for to sail for old England
(因我们收到命令将驶向英格兰)
And we may never see you fair ladies again
(我们再也无法见到，你们这样风姿绰约的女士)
We`ll rant and we`ll roar，like true Britsh sailors
（我们喧嚣咆哮，像真正的不列颠水手）
We`ll rant and we`ll roar，all along the salt seas
（我们喧嚣咆哮，伴着咸湿的海浪）
Untill we strike soundings in the channel of old England
（直到抵达英吉利海峡最深处）
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues.
(从阿申特岛到锡利群岛足有35个里格)
We hove our ship to，with the wind from southwest boys.
(顺着西南风指引，我们顺风航行，小子们)
We hove our ship to，deep soundings to take
(我们驾船航行，长路漫漫)
Twas 45 fathoms with a white sandy bottom
(这片海域有45英寸深，底部是洁白的沙子)
So we squared our main yard，and up channel did steer
(于是我们调整主帆，沿着海峡前行)
We`ll rant and we`ll roar，like true Britsh sailors
（我们喧嚣咆哮，像真正的不列颠水手）
We`ll rant and we`ll roar，all along the salt seas
（我们喧嚣咆哮，伴着咸湿的海浪）
Untill we strike soundings in the channel of old England
（直到抵达英吉利海峡最深处）
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues.
(从阿申特岛到锡利群岛足有35个里格)
Now let ev`ry man drink off his full bumper
(让每个人都干上满满一杯)
Now let ev`ry man drink off his full glass
（让每个人都喝满满一杯）
We`ll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy
(我们饮酒作乐，借酒消愁)
And hers`s to the health of each ture-hearted lass
(这杯敬每一位真心女士的健康)
We`ll rant and we`ll roar，like true Britsh sailors
（我们喧嚣咆哮，像真正的不列颠水手）
We`ll rant and we`ll roar，all along the salt seas
（我们喧嚣咆哮，伴着咸湿的海浪）
Untill we strike soundings in the channel of old England
（直到抵达英吉利海峡最深处）
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues.
