Byl razveselyy rozovyy voskhod
I plyl korabl' navstrechu peredryagam
I yunga vyshel v pervyy svoy pokhod
Pod flibust'yerskim cherepastym flagom

Nakrenivshis' k vode, parusami shursha
Brig dvukhmachtovyy leg v razvorote
A u yungi ot schast'ya kachalas' dusha
Kak pen'kovyye vanty na grote

I dushu nezhnuyu pod gruboy roboy pryacha
Surovyy shkiper dal yemu sovet
"Bud' dzhentl'menom, yesli yest' udacha
A bez udachi - dzhentl'menov net! "

I plaval brig tuda, kuda khotel
Vstrechalsya - s kem sud'ba yego svodila
Lomaya kosti veslam karavell
Kogda do abordazha dokhodilo

Byl odnazhdy bogatoy dobychi delezh
I piraty besilis' i vyli
Yunga vdrug poblednel i skhvatilsya za nozh
Potomu chto yego obdelili

Stoyala devushka, ne pryachas' i ne placha
I yunga vspomnil shkiperskiy zavet
My - dzhentl'meny, yesli yest' udacha
A net udachi - dzhentl'menov net!

I videl on, chto kapitan molchal
Ne probuya sderzhat' krovavoy svary
I ran glubokikh on ne zamechal
I nanosil otvetnyye udary

Tol'ko yey pokazalos', chto s yungoy - beda
A drugogo ona ne khotela
Perekinulas' za bort - i skryla voda
Zolotistoye smugloye telo

I pryamo v grud' sebe, piratov ozadachiv
On razryadil goryachiy pistolet
On byl posledniy dzhentl'men udachi
Konets udachi - dzhentl'menov net!
