The Trawlerman's Song

We’re taking on water
我们在水上生活
Diesel and stores
那些柴油和储备品
Laying up awhile before I’m back on board
我回到船上之前，先放在那儿吧
They’re patching her up
他们正在修补她的身体
To go fishing again fishing again
好让她再一次又再一次地出去捕鱼
They’re welding her rudder
他们正在焊着她的舵
Scrubbing her keel
有人在洗着她的龙骨
Scars on her belly need time to heal
她肚子上的伤疤，时间才能让它们愈合
In the dock
码头上
With the trawlermen
渔民都在那儿
I know all the people
我认识他们每一个人
There’s nobody new
没一个新面孔
Soon we’ll be leaving with the same old crew
我们很快要和上次的那个老船员一起出海了
On the green water
绿色的水面上
The tumbling sea
海水翻滚着
They ain’t running like the good old days
他们没法像以前那样顺利航行
Time’s just slipping down the old slipways
而时间仍在老轨道上滑行着
In the dock
码头上
So dear to me
让我心惜
Dark is the night
夜晚让黑暗降临
I need a guiding light
我需要光给我指路
To keep me
好让我
From foundering
不会沉没
On the rocks
礁石上
My only prayer
我唯一的祷告
Is just to see you there
就是能活着看到你
At the end
我排排徊徊
Of my wandering
最终
Back in the dock
回到了码头
Ah aha aha aha
啊 啊哈 啊哈 啊哈
I could use a layoff
我可能要裁员
Getting my strength back
好让我恢复运作
But there’s a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
但我还要付一笔贷款和一些跳槽费
So it’s a turnaround
所以这是个转机
Back in the southerly wind
让我回到南风
Pirates coming in to steal our gold
海盗来偷我们的黄金
You can count yourself lucky
你可以说是交了好运
With a profit in the hold in the dock
码头给你带来了一笔利润
When we come in
我们来的时候
Dark is the night
夜晚让黑暗降临
I need a guiding light to keep me
我需要光明
From foundering
来让我远离沉没
On the rocks
礁石上
My only prayer
我唯一的祷告
Is just to see you there
就是能活着看到你
At the end
我排排徊徊
Of my wandering
最终
Back in the dock
回到了码头
Ahlala dadada dada dada daadda
啊啦啦 哒哒哒……
