Sailing To Philadelphia

I'm Jeremiah Dixon

I am a Geordie boy
我是Jeremiah Dixon

我是個煤船工人
A glass of wine with you' sir
和先生您喝一杯
And the ladies I'll enjoy
還有您，可愛的小姐

Durham和Northumberland的每一寸土地
All Durham and Northumberland
由我雙手丈量而來

我生來的宿命
Is measured up by my own hand
就是把我的記號刻到地球上

他叫我Charlie Mason
It was my fate from birth
一個觀星者

似乎我生來
To make my mark upon the earth...
就是為了繪製夜晚的星圖

他們覺得我會去烤麵包
He calls me Charlie Mason
但我有其他夢想

這個西方國家來的麵包師的兒子
A stargazer am I
將會加入皇家學會

我們駛向費城
It seems that I was born
一個遠離coaly Tyne的世界
To chart the evening sky
駛向費城

去劃那條線
They'd cut me out for baking bread
那條Mason-Dixon線

是，你是個好的測量師
But I had other dreams instead
但我對天發誓，你快要把我逼瘋了

老家的人們會把我們都殺掉
This baker's boy from the west country
你這個容易上當的運煤小伙兒

你說到自由
Would join the Royal Society...
美國怎麼會有自由？

一個運煤工和一個麵包師的兒子
We are sailing to Philadelphia
在Iroquois部落的森林中。 。 。

抬起你的頭來，Mason
A world away from the coaly Tyne
看，美國就在那兒

早潮升起了
Sailing to Philadelphia
Delaware海角

上來曬曬太陽吧
To draw the line
一個新的早晨開始了

有一天我們會明白
The Mason- Dixon line
為什麼你的星星把我們引導到這裡

我們駛向費城
Now you're a good surveyor' Dixon
一個遠離coaly Tyne的世界
But I swear you'll make me mad
駛向費城

去劃那條線
The West will kill us both
那條Mason-Dixon線
You gullible Geordie lad

You talk of liberty

How can America be free

A Geordie and a baker's boy

In the forest of the Iroquois...

Now hold your head up'Mason
See America lies there

The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware

Come up and feel the sun

A new morning is begun

Another day will make it clear

Why your stars should guide us here...

We are sailing to Philadelphia

A world away from the coaly Tyne

Sailing to Philadelphia

To draw the line

The Mason-Dixon line
