As I listened to the song and researched what I thought made sense to me:

May Kyne's fair kin get "Kiss to the end", but I'd rather see my Systres.

Kyne is also known as the Kiss at the End. Perhaps 'at' was morphed into 'to' by the artist as words tend to do while singing... We can always write and ask them.

Go drink and sin in Morrowind, ...
Way hey, over and down, ...

Morrowind line - i'd stick to "sing" for it's an overall theme, while "sin" doesn't fit as much. Other two (especially Way hey line) i struggled the most with making sense of, so you may be right. DaExile (talk) 14:22, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
I have received the official lyrics from Gina Bruno :)

Hi Erorah, apologies for the delay here! The lyrics for the Sea Shanty are below; hope this helps!
I hugged the coast on the Sea of Ghosts
And jumped at every whisper
May Kyne’s fair kin get kissed ‘t the end,
But I’d rather see my Systres
So guide all hands through Dunmer lands
And sing Saxhleel tongue twisters
Go drink and sin in Morrowind
I’d rather see my Systres
I’d rather see my Systres
CHORUS:
Way-hey, over and down,
As the sunlight glisters
Sailing across the bright blue sea
Sailing for my Systres""
