"Sailor's Song" is a song inPaper Mario: Color Splash. Its lyrics are not sung aloud and instead appear as captions. The song plays atViolet Passage asMario andHuey relax on the deck of the ship.
The first line of "Sailor's Song" is heard as a leitmotif throughout various purple 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", also titled "Captain T. Ode Enters",[1] plays when Mario,Olivia, andProfessor Toad meetCaptain T. Ode inPaper Mario: The Origami King. The same chanting from "Sailor's Song" is heard onBonehead 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 theLost 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.
