《Ode To Big Blue》歌词

[00:00:01] Ode To Big Blue (Album Version) - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:08] The oceans of the world were the home of big blue

[00:00:18] He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew

[00:00:22] And the place that he loved best

[00:00:24] Was the waters to the west

[00:00:30] Around the blue Pacific he did roam

[00:00:37] Big Blue moved alone for a mighty blue was he

[00:00:45] And the battles of the whales was an awesome sight to see

[00:00:49] And he took them one by one and he drove them all away

[00:00:57] In the mating of the day he was the king

[00:01:09] Big blue had fifty wives and he sired forty sons

[00:01:18] Though most of them feel victim to the cruel harpoon guns

[00:01:23] Ah but he was too much wise to get caught by the gunners' eyes

[00:01:32] And so he lived at sea a hundred years

[00:01:49] His mouth was as large as a tunnel so they say

[00:01:58] His hide was thick as leather and his eyes quick and small

[00:02:03] And his back was all scarred by the times he got away

[00:02:12] And he knew the smell of whalers did Big Blue

[00:02:30] Big Blue passed away to his natural decay

[00:02:39] Beside the Arctic Circle as he travelled up that way

[00:02:44] And there never was a man who was born with a gunner's hand

[00:02:53] Whoever took a pan to Big Blue

[00:03:10] Now the gray whale has run and the sperm is almost done

[00:03:19] The finbacks and the Greenland rights have all passed and gone

[00:03:24] They've been taken by the men for the money they could spend

[00:03:33] And the killing never ends it just goes on

[00:03:48] The oceans of the earth were the home of big blue

[00:03:57] He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew

[00:04:02] And the place that he loved best was the waters to the west

[00:04:11] Around the blue Pacific he did roam
