CONTRABANDO MEMOIRE #?

       - Captain, let us go closer to Malta or to Gozo,
I can't play this nice milonga by Cardozo,
cause this ship is going so much up and down,

       - ha, replied the captain with an ugly frown,
if we go any closer with this cargo,
by the way, what you play should be piu Largo,

we'll be arrested in no time by the Maltese,
       - oh, captain, let’s go closer if you please,
       or all of us today we're going to be drown,
       
       -ha, again another uglier frown,
       when smugglers can't get closer, they sure die,
       then he looked at me strait in the eye,
       
       you don’t have what it takes to be a smuggler,
       get wet in your levies or your wrangler,
       after this trip is over you are fired.
       
       I didn’t reply,
       the wind was twelve beaufort,
I was too tired…
