Wellerman (Sea Shanty) - Nathan Evans
Lyrics by：Nathan Evans/Alex Oriet/David Phelan/Tom Hollings/William Graydon/Samuel Brannan
There once was a ship that put to sea
曾经有一艘出海的船
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
这艘船的名字叫茶壶号
The winds blew hard
狂风呼啸
Her bow dipped down
船头下沉
Blow me bully boys blow
吹吧吹吧 尽管吹吧
Huh
Soon may the wellerman come
Weller公司的补给船很快就要来了
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒
One day when the tonguin' is done
等到一切都结束的那天
We'll take our leave and go
我们就能离开了
She had not been two weeks from shore
船离岸不到两个星期
When down on her a right whale bore
一头露脊鲸冲了过来
The captain called all hands and swore
船长召集所有水手 发誓说
He'd take that whale in tow
他一定要把这头鲸拖回岸边
Hah
Soon may the wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguin' is done
等到一切都结束的那天
We'll take our leave and go

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Before the boat had hit the water
在小船下水之前
The whale's tail came up and caught her
鲸鱼尾巴甩起来 打中了船身
All hands to the side
所有水手都到船舷来
Harpooned and fought her
用鱼叉与鲸鱼搏斗
When she dived down below
它又潜入了水中
Huh

No line was cut no whale was freed
钓索没有断 鲸鱼也没逃脱
The captain's mind was not on greed

But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
而是坚守捕鲸者的信条
She took that ship in tow
鲸鱼拖着船行进

Da da da da da da
For forty days or even more

The line went slack
钓索松弛了下来
Then tight once more
后来又绷紧了
All boats were lost

But still that whale did go
