Babelfishing Poetry: "There Is No Unknown Dangerous Luster"

OK, folks, ready or not, it's time for more Babelfishing poetry, where I take song lyrics, run them through an on-line translator such as (but not necessarily) Babelfish, alter the punctuation a bit, and wind up with a quirky kind of poem.

This week's song, chosen at random, is the traditional sea shanty "Leave Her Johnny" (listen to song sung by vocal group The Longest Johns and their virtual choir, and click Show More to read lyrics, here).  Enjoy.

There Is No Unknown Dangerous Luster

Ignorance.
"I'm a member of the Society of Promotions," I said.
Cargo ships.
Clothes that are held in parallel.

The same function is also the goal.
Ur-manganese was a paradise too.
None of them should be sent for,
sailing day and night.

Sirloin bread.
The officer said he was drowned by pumping water.
Our marriages are full of marriage!
After that, there is no unknown dangerous luster.

A promised nun.
Hello, Thailand.
Because the wind doesn't move after the end,
the time has come to an end.
