Violet Passage
The ship sails as the song plays.
“Avast! That be the best part of the song!”
Violet Passage captain, Paper Mario: Color Splash

"Sailor's Song" is a song in Paper Mario: Color Splash. Its lyrics are not sung aloud and instead appear as captions. The song plays at Violet Passage as Mario and Huey relax on the deck of the ship.

The first line of "Sailor's Song" is heard as a leitmotif throughout various violet 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 "Sailor's Song" serves as the basis of the music for the island itself.

"Fortune Island" plays when Mario, Olivia, and Professor Toad meet Captain T. Ode in Paper Mario: The Origami King. The same chanting from "Sailor's Song" is heard on Bonehead Island, while the track itself takes inspiration from "Violet Passage."

Lyrics[edit]

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.

Japanese script Romanization Translation

どくろに かぜをうけ
あらなみ こえまくり
まよいの うみのはて
おたから めざします

かくごは できてるか
いのちも おしくない
ねがいは ただひとつ
でんせつ なりたいな

Dokuro ni kaze o uke
Aranami koemakuri
Mayoi no umi no hate
Otakara mezashimasu

Kakugo wa dekiteru ka
Inochi mo oshikunai
Negai wa tada hitotsu
Densetsu naritai na

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

Spanish[edit]

Spanish script Translation

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!
