We Learned the Sea

I am the captain and I have been told
我是一個船長，有人告訴我
That tomorrow we land and my ship has been sold
明天我們將靠岸，我的船已被賣
Now losing this boat is worth scarce a mention
如今船沒了或許已不值一提
I think of the crew, most of all the first ensign
但我想起了船員，還有第一面艦旗
For all we learned the sea
回想大海教過我們的一切
Guiding a ship, it takes more than your skill
駕駛一艘船，需要的不僅是技能
It's the compass inside it's the strength of your will
更是內心的方向，是意志的力量
The first ensign watched as tempests all tried me
艦旗見證我經受風暴的考驗
I sang in the wind as if God were beside me
我在風中歌唱，彷彿上帝就在我身旁
For all we learned the sea
回想大海教過我們的一切
You take the wheel one more time like I showed you
你再一次掌舵，正像我教你的那樣
We've reached the strait once even I could not go through
我們已到海峽，即使我也未曾穿越
I am the captain and I have been told
我是一個船長，有人告訴我
But I am not shaken, I am eight years old
但我沒有動搖，我已經八歲了
And you are still young, but you'll understand
你還年輕，但你會明白
That the stars of the sea are the same for the land
海上的星星和陸地上的一樣
And we came to learn the sea
我們來接受海之教誨
