Can lyrics adapted from a 1908 poem in a Peruvian anarchist newsletter make a good harmonica tune? Have a listen and find out.

lyrics

Lovers of liberty:
Step on board la nave rebelde,
The ship that dissolves expectations,
the one that hoists no flag,
that floats without the gravity
of law or lord,
that has no pilot, no compass,
and neither has nor wants a rudder.

Sail happy, or perish!
The ship hurls herself into the seas
Tossed by shoals and vortices –
No moon, stars, or sun.
With joy and confidence
I climb into the ship.
O sea of the free, welcome me!
O land of slaves, goodbye!

Come aboard the ship, beautiful ship.

(after Manuel Gonzáles Prada)
