Both tribes deserve a pat on the back (With you're good hand....don't want to slice off your shoulder with that hook)
That being said, A's was funnier and more like Al. It had a better scheme to it all, and the point was easier to get at. I'm giving this vote to tribe A but it was a very tough decision.
Points off to both tribes for missing an obligatory white whale reference, or at the very least a giant squid. That's just wrong.

Both Tribes submissions were very good, but one was quite a bit better than the other's.
Tribe A - You had some really great ideas in there and some very funny lines! You did a great job nailing down the pirate lingo. You sounded a lot like a pirate! However, it was very difficult to follow along with the original song and rhythm for a couple of reasons. First, you completely replaced some of the lines in the song with your own jokes, rather than TRANSLATING the song. Also, there was no attempt made to make the lines rhyme or to keep the same syllabic pattern through the verses.
Tribe B - You also had some very humorous lines in your song, though not quite as funny as Tribe A's. I really liked you tried to stick to the rhyming pattern set up in Al's original. And with the exception of the title, you tried to keep the correct number of syllables in place. However, the further I read, the more difficult it became to recognize what lines were being translated. You seemed to fall into the same trap as Tribe A, meaning you were parodying the song rather than translating it.
In the final analysis, I had to ignore the translation-element, since they both seemed to drop the ball in that area. Tribe B was much better at keeping the rhyming pattern up, and Tribe A had a much better control of the pirate lingo. But ultimately, when looking at the rules Driew Probst posted, rhyming wasn't a criteria for which the submissions should be judged, while pirate talk was the whole focus of the challenge! So, I'm going to have to give this one to Tribe A! Again, both were good, but Tribe A's was considerably stronger!
Good job, both tribes!
Well okay. Tribe A is................................................................... 
Ye best be droppin yer cutlass and be hearin what i tells ya
It be time for us't join ye sword fight,

Ye's best be sellin' some rum b'fore it be time,
Ye's best be findin' yer'self a bloody itch to scratch,
Ye's best be stranglin' all the Charmin ye's bein' able to,
When Col. Whipple's walkin' the plank,
Stick your head in a treasure chest and find yer'self a gem,

Bite the hook that thou be eatin' from,
Bite off more than ye's bein' able ta chew,

Burn your candle without a Lanthorn,
Shoot a seahoarse in the mouth,
Old tobacco can be your bucko,
Buckos can be a corsair achiever,
Ye can sit around the hull,
And watch "Leave It To Blaggard",
The fate is up'ta thee,
So what are ye best be doing?
