Con diez cañones por banda,
Viento en popa, a toda vela,
No corta el mar, sino vuela
Un velero bergantín...

Translation of the text on the cover:
With ten cannons on each side,
Wind astern, with all sails set,
It does not cut the sea, but flies—
A brigantine sailboat...

The Pirate’s Song
José de Espronceda
