《The Downeaster ”Alexa”》歌词

[00:00:00] The Downeaster "Alexa" - Billy Joel (比利·乔尔)

[00:00:10] //

[00:00:10] Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa

[00:00:16] 我现在正在唐依斯特阿丽莎号船上

[00:00:16] And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound

[00:00:21] 我正驾驶着它巡航穿越石峡岛

[00:00:21] I have charted a course to the Vineyard

[00:00:27] 我已经准备好去向温亚德的行程

[00:00:27] But tonight I am Nantucket bound

[00:00:33] 但今夜我将向楠塔基特前进

[00:00:33] We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday

[00:00:38] 昨天我们已在蒙托克加满油

[00:00:38] And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay

[00:00:44] 今晨伴随着加德纳海湾的钟声出发

[00:00:44] Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home

[00:00:49] 和当地的其他人一样 我必须卖掉我的房子

[00:00:49] Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone

[00:00:53] 出于自尊我不愿离开这里 一直拼命工作

[00:00:53] So I could own my Downeaster Alexa

[00:00:59] 我坚信唐依斯特阿丽莎号邮轮会有的

[00:00:59] And I go where the ocean is deep

[00:01:05] 扬帆去向浩瀚深邃的海洋

[00:01:05] There are giants out there in the canyons

[00:01:10] 峡谷中有巨形怪物

[00:01:10] And a good captain can't fall asleep

[00:01:16] 而我作为好船长则丝毫不能松懈

[00:01:16] I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes

[00:01:22] 我的账单还没付清 我的孩子还没有衣服穿

[00:01:22] I know there's fish out there but where God only knows

[00:01:27] 我知道海里有鱼 但是天知道他们到底在哪里

[00:01:27] They say these waters aren't what they used to be

[00:01:33] 他们说这些海洋已经今非昔比

[00:01:33] But I've got people back on land who count on me

[00:01:37] 但是陆地上还有需要我照顾的人

[00:01:37] So if you see my Downeaster Alexa

[00:01:42] 因此 如果你看见我的唐依斯特阿丽莎号

[00:01:42] And if you work with the rod and the reel

[00:01:48] 而且你在海边用钓鱼竿捕鱼

[00:01:48] Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis

[00:01:53] 请告诉我的妻子 我正在大西洋捕鱼

[00:01:53] And I still have my hands on the wheel

[00:02:33] 我会坚持到底 决不放弃

[00:02:33] Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa

[00:02:37] 如今我驾驶着我的唐依斯特阿丽莎号

[00:02:37] More and more miles from shore every year

[00:02:42] 逐年远离海岸

[00:02:42] Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers

[00:02:48] 他们告诉我条纹鲈鱼已经卖不出去了

[00:02:48] And there's no luck in swordfishing here

[00:02:55] 但是我也没有运气碰见剑鱼

[00:02:55] I was a bayman like my father was before

[00:03:00] 我和我老爸一样也是一个渔民

[00:03:00] Can't make a living as a bayman anymore

[00:03:05] 这种工作已经不能维持生计

[00:03:05] There ain't much future for a man who works the sea

[00:03:11] 以海为生的人也没有什么未来

[00:03:11] But there ain't no island left for islanders like me

[00:03:16] 但我这样有信念的渔民终会拥有自己的一片天地
