The Old Sea-dog at the Admiral Benbow

O Velho Lobo do Mar no Admiral Benbow

Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17—, and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof.

Tendo o Escudeiro Trelawney, o Dr. Livesey e os demais cavalheiros me pedido que registrasse todos os pormenores sobre a Ilha do Tesouro, do começo ao fim, sem omitir nada exceto as coordenadas da ilha, e isso apenas porque ainda há tesouro que não foi recolhido, pego em minha pena no ano da graça de 17— e volto ao tempo em que meu pai mantinha a estalagem Admiral Benbow e o velho marinheiro bronzeado com a cicatriz de sabre instalou-se pela primeira vez sob nosso teto.

I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow--a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white.

Lembro-me dele como se fosse ontem, quando ele veio caminhando pesadamente até a porta da estalagem, com seu baú de marinheiro sendo transportado atrás dele num carrinho de mão — um homem alto, forte, corpulento, de pele cor de noz, com seu rabicho alcatroado caindo sobre o ombro do casaco azul encardido, as mãos ásperas e cheias de cicatrizes, com unhas negras e quebradas, e a cicatriz de sabre atravessando uma das bochechas, de um branco sujo e lívido.

I remember him looking round the cove and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards:

Lembro-me dele olhando ao redor da enseada e assobiando para si mesmo enquanto o fazia, e então irrompendo naquela velha canção do mar que ele cantou tão frequentemente depois:

"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

"Quinze homens no baú do homem morto — Yo-ho-ho, e uma garrafa de rum!"

in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars.

com aquela voz alta, velha e trêmula que parecia ter sido afinada e quebrada nas barras do cabrestante.

Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum.

Então ele bateu na porta com um pedaço de pau semelhante a uma alavanca que carregava, e quando meu pai apareceu, pediu grosseiramente um copo de rum.
