English[edit]

SKURVY:
Arrh! Feast your eyes!
Look into the mirror, arrh, it never lies!
You're a pirate! Can't you see that this is no disguise?
You live to loot and pillage, maim and terrorize!

Your reflection tells the story of a pirate's life of glory
Trust your eyes! Arrh!
The mirror never lies!
Arrh!

DK:
How can this be?
I faintly recall swinging tree to tree!
Now I see a pirate that's in front of me!
With slimy skin and beady eyes, what a surprise!

The reflection tells the story of a pirate's life of glory
Trust my eye!
The mirror never lies!

SKURVY & DK:
The reflection tells the story of a pirate's life of glory
Trust your eye!
Arrh! The mirror never lies!
The mirror never lies...

French lyrics Translation

SKURVY:
Arr!
Tu le sais,
regarde dans le miroir,
il ment jamais.
Tu es un pirate!
Tu le vois bien regarde tes traits.
Ta vie c'est piller, voler.
C'est excitent
Ton image reflète l'histoire d'un méchant pirate en pleine gloire!
Regarde tes traits. (Arr!)
Le miroir ne ment jamais. (Arr!)

SKURVY:
Arr!
You know it,
look in the mirror,
it never lies
You're a pirate!
You can see it clearly, look at your features.
Your life is about plundering and stealing. It's exciting
Your image reflects the history of a wicked pirate in full glory.
Look at your features. (Arr!)
The mirror never lies. (Arr!)

¡Argh! ¡Despierta ya!
Y mira en el espejo, ¡No te engañará!

Esto no es un disfraz
¡Argh!

Argh! Wake up already!
And look in the mirror, It won't lie to you!
You're a pirate! It's not a costume
Your life is all about plundering and terrorizing!

You must trust! Argh!
This isn't a costume
Argh!

DK

Creo recordar
Que de en árbol en árbol yo solía saltar
Ahora este pirata frente en mí está
¡Con piel brillosa y mirada de maldad!

Mi reflejo es la gloria de un pirata muy malvado
Debo confiar
¡El espejo no me va a engañar!

I seem to remember
That I used to jump from tree to tree
Now this pirate stands before me
With shiny skin and a wicked gaze!

My reflection is the glory of a very evil pirate
I must trust
The mirror won't deceive me!

Skurvy & DK

El reflejo es la gloria de un pirata muy malvado
Hay que confiar
El espejo no puede engañar
Esto no es un disfraz…

The reflection is the glory of a very evil pirate
You have to trust
The mirror cannot deceive
This isn't a disguise…

Skurvy

¡Argh! ¿No lo ves?
Mírate al espejo, ¿Y qué ves?
Un pirata es lo que eres, ¿Es que no lo ves?
Tu misión en esta isla de espionaje es

Tu reflejo cuenta historias de piratas, viejas glorias
¿No lo ves? ¡Argh!
Pues, ¡Eres lo que ves!
¡Arg!

Argh! Can't you see it?
Look in the mirror, What do you see?
You're a pirate, Can't you see it?
Your mission on this island is espionage

Your reflection tells stories of pirates, past glories
Can't you see it? Argh!
Well, you are what you see!
Argh!

DK

¡No puede ser!
Creo no recordar lo que debo hacer
No me siento pirata, no lo debo ser
Pero si él lo dice, ¡debe ser así!

Mi reflejo cuenta historias de piratas, viejas glorias
¡Y aquí estoy!
¡Pues yo soy lo que soy!

No way!
I don't think I remember what I'm supposed to do
I don't feel like a pirate, I must not be one
But if he says so, it must be true!

My reflection tells stories of pirates, past glories
And here I am!
Well, I am what I am!

Tu reflejo cuenta historias de piratas, viejas glorias
¡Y no lo ves!
¡Argh! ¡Pues eres lo que ves!
Pues eres lo que ves…

Your reflection tells stories of pirates, past glories
And you don't even see it!
Argh! Well, you are what you see!
Well, you are what you see…
