rock, thank you so much for explanation

Why you don't write here anymore?
Please, check my English

jenyok, it would be correct: why don't you write here anymore?

доброго дня. пропоную проверить знания английского путем коллективного перевода старых и очень добрых пиратских песенок на англ (оригиналы, без современизации). если не против- понахожу тексты.

yeah, I thought to write like you've written but... But, when put this sentence to the google translate, it wrote: "Почему бы вам не написать здесь больше?" It sounds a bit strange, isn't it?

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, Drink up me 'earties, yo ho

of course, everybody knows this one. Jack Sparrow sings it lovely

My level of English is not so good to translate this songs :(

Giving Up Wine


I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly
dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of
dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this
money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'

'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked..

'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to
spend all my time trying to stay alive.'

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked....
'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done
in 20 years!'

'Well' I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money... Instead, I'm
going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'

The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you
for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty
disgusting.'

I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman
looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and
wine.'

...yes, yes...

It seems like studing history by means of wikipedia.
