- “Avast! That be the best part of the song!”
- —Violet Passage captain, Paper Mario: Color Splash
"Sailor's Song"[1] is a song in Paper Mario: Color Splash. Its lyrics are not sung aloud and instead appear as captions, similar to Soul Rumblings. The song is sung at Violet Passage as Mario and Huey relax on the deck of the ship.
History[edit]
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
Paper Mario: Color Splash marks the first appearance of "Sailor's Song". Additionally, the first line of "Sailor's Song" is heard as a leitmotif throughout various purple levels. It is heard in "Plum Park," "Poisonous Plum Park," "Violet Passage," and "Rumble with Wendy," and is used to represent the violet areas in "Prisma Splash!" A shortened arrangement titled "Fortune Island, Ahoy!" plays when Fortune Island is revealed on the map, and an arrangement of "Sailor's Song" that uses the original chanting and takes inspiration from "Violet Passage" is heard on Fortune Island, with the track itself titled "Fortune Island" in the Prisma Museum. Additionally, an arrangement of "Fortune Island" plays in the version of Fortune Island in the Parallel world.

English[edit]
- Old Roger gets his jollies
- On the boundless blue
- From beyond the Lost Sea
- Fortune beckons our crew
- Fate lies on the horizon
- We pay the ultimate price
- There is but one path
- A legend's sacrifice!
Japanese[edit]
While the English version's lyrics rhyme, the Japanese lyrics match the rhythm of the song's vocals.

Feel the wind in Old Roger
Persist through the stormy seas
I will head for the treasure
At the end of the Lost Sea
Are you prepared?
I would give up my life
I have only one desire:
I want to become a legend

Ветра поют, скрипит бушприт.
И судно по волнам летит.
Туманное море ревёт.
Но храбрых сокровище ждёт!
Готов ли жизнью рисковать?
Готов на дно пойти?
Морской легендой чтобы стать
И славу обрести!
|
Vetra poyut, skripit bushprit.
I sudno po volnam letit.
Tumannoye more revyot.
No khrabrych sokrovishche zhdyot!
Gotov li zhiznyyu riskovat'?
Gotov na dno poyti?
Morskoy legendoy chtoby stat'
I slavu obresti!
|
The winds are singing, and the bowsprit is creaking
And the ship is flying on the waves
The foggy sea roars
But the treasure awaits the brave!
Are you ready to risk your life?
Ready to go to the bottom?
To become a sea legend
And gain fame!

No hay peligro ni aventura...
Que el Almirante no afronte...
Buscando fama y fortuna...
Con rumbo hacia el horizonte.
Hace falta un toad osado...
Y de una audacia tremenda.
En este Mar Extraviado...
¡Va a nacer una leyenda!
|
There is no danger nor adventure...
That the Admiral does not confront...
Searching for fame and fortune...
Heading towards the horizon.
It takes a daring Toad...
And tremendous fearlessness...
In this Lost Sea...
A legend is going to be born!
