The Downeaster Alexa 唐伊斯特-雅丽莎号渔船
Well I'm on the Downeaster 'Alexa'
And I'm cruising through Rock Island Sound
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
啊, 我正在唐伊斯特-雅丽莎号船上
我正驾驶它巡航穿过石岛峡
我已设定了去温亚德的航程
不过,今晚我向楠塔基特出发
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
昨天我们已在蒙托克加满柴油
今早晨钟一响就从加德纳海湾起锚
犹如这里的当地人我必须卖掉房子
自尊心太强没远走他乡, 我一直拼命干活
So I could own my Downeaster 'Alexa'
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep
以便能够拥有唐伊斯特-雅丽莎号
并杨帆远赴浩瀚深邃的海洋
峡谷中充满巨形怪物
而作为一名好船长不能打盹
I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
I know there's fish out there but where God only knows
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
But I've got people back on land who count on me
许多账单需要我清还, 且孩子需要衣着
我知道海里有鱼, 但天知道它们在哪
他们说这些水域已今非昔比
但我有家人在陆地上嗷嗷待哺
So if you see my Downeaster 'Alexa'
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel
因此,如果您看到我的唐伊斯特-雅丽莎号
而且您是在海边使用钓鱼竿捕鱼
告诉我太太, 我正在亚兰蒂斯捕鱼
并且渔船还在我的掌控中
Now I drive my Downeaster 'Alexa'
More and more miles from shore every year
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
如今,我驾驶我的唐伊斯特-雅丽莎号
逐年离开海岸越来越远
因为他们不让我卖条纹鲈鱼
而这里又没有剑鱼的踪迹
I was a bayman like my father was before
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
像我老爸我以前也是海军医务室助理
这种工作已不能维持生计
靠海吃饭也没有什么前途
但像我这种岛民已无其他安身之处
【英语牛人团】
