Nathan Evans - Wellerman (Sea Shanty)

歌詞

曾經有一艘船出海

There once was a ship that put to sea

這艘船的名字是茶的比利號

The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

風起，她的弓垂了下來

The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

哦，吹，我的欺負男孩，吹（呵呵）

Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go

她離岸邊還不到兩週

She'd not been two weeks from shore

當一條露脊鯨壓在她身上時

When down on her a right whale bore

船長召集所有人發誓

The captain called all hands and swore

他會拖著那條鯨魚（呵呵）

He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go

噠噠噠噠噠

Da-da-da-da-da

噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

在船下水之前

Before the boat had hit the water

鯨魚的尾巴上來抓住了她

The whale's tail came up and caught her

所有的手都靠在一邊，用魚叉和她戰鬥

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her

當她潛入低處（呵呵）

When she dived down low (huh)

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go

沒有線被切斷，沒有鯨魚被釋放

No line was cut, no whale was freed

船長的心不是貪婪的

The captain's mind was not of greed

他屬於捕鯨人的信條

And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed

她拖著那艘船（呵呵）

She took that ship in tow (huh)

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go

噠噠噠噠噠

Da-da-da-da-da

噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠噠

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

四十天甚至更久

For forty days or even more

線路鬆弛然後又緊了

The line went slack then tight once more

所有的船都丟失了，只有四艘

All boats were lost, there were only four

但那條鯨魚還是去了（呵呵）

But still that whale did go (huh)

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go

據我所知，戰鬥仍在繼續

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on

這條線沒有被切斷，鯨魚也沒有消失

The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone

Wellerman 經常打電話

The Wellerman makes his regular call

鼓勵船長，船員和所有人（呵呵）

To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go

Wellerman 很快就會來

Soon may the Wellerman come

給我們帶來糖、茶和朗姆酒

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

有一天，當舌頭完成時

One day, when the tonguing is done

我們會告辭走

We'll take our leave and go
