This is a translation I got from my step-mom hopefully this helps I think it makes it more understandable and comprehensible.
Lines 1-4
They were rowing along in a small boat in the Bermudas
Minding their own business
Singing this song
Lines 5-10
"What else can we do but sing about God
That led us through this ocean
to this undiscovered island that seems so much nicer than our own home land.
The island looks like it's in the middle of nowhere and being held up on the backs of monsters of the sea.
Lines 10-20
God leads and sets our boat on this grassy island safe and sound from the storms
And gives us this eternally beautiful place and freshest water.
He sends birds over head every day.
Oranges and pomegranates are everywhere to eat, and are so bright with color like jewels.
Lines 21-30
There are figs to eat
Pineapples that grow in plants on the ground, but only one pineapple per plant
The smell of cedar trees from Lebanon everywhere
God also makes the oceans a little rough that they sometimes beach whales onto shore.
We also claim that God made the white rocks that line the shore
Lines 31-40
And with these rocks we built Him a church to sing his praises for his gifts
That they even talk about all the way to the Mexique Bay."
The Englishman in the rowboat kept singing this song
In a holy and cheerful manner
Rowing their oars in time with the beat the whole time.
