We Learned the Sea

I am the captain and I have been told
我是一个船长，有人告诉我
That tomorrow we land and my ship has been sold
明天我们将靠岸，我的船已被卖
Now losing this boat is worth scarce a mention
如今船没了或许已不值一提
I think of the crew, most of all the first ensign
但我想起了船员，还有第一面舰旗
For all we learned the sea
回想大海教过我们的一切
Guiding a ship, it takes more than your skill
驾驶一艘船，需要的不仅是技能
It's the compass inside it's the strength of your will
更是内心的方向，是意志的力量
The first ensign watched as tempests all tried me
舰旗见证我经受风暴的考验
I sang in the wind as if God were beside me
我在风中歌唱，彷佛上帝就在我身旁
For all we learned the sea
回想大海教过我们的一切
You take the wheel one more time like I showed you
你再一次掌舵，正像我教你的那样
We've reached the strait once even I could not go through
我们已到海峡，即使我也未曾穿越
I am the captain and I have been told
我是一个船长，有人告诉我
But I am not shaken, I am eight years old
但我没有动摇，我已经八岁了
And you are still young, but you'll understand
你还年轻，但你会明白
That the stars of the sea are the same for the land
海上的星星和陆地上的一样
And we came to learn the sea
我们来接受海之教诲
