吹吧吹吧 盡管吹吧
Soon may the Wellerman come
Wellerman很快就要來了
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
給我們帶來糖 茶和朗姆酒
One day when the tonguin’ is done
等到一切結(jié)束的那一天
We’ll take our leave and go
我們就能離開了
She had not been two weeks from shore
船離岸不到兩個星期
When down on her a right whale bore
一頭露脊鯨沖了過來
The captain called all hands and swore
船長召集所有水手 發(fā)誓說
He’d take that whale in tow huh
他一定要把這頭鯨拖回岸邊
Soon may the Wellerman come
Wellerman很快就要來了
To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguin’ is done

We’ll take our leave and go

Before the boat had hit the water
在小船下水之前
The whale’s tail came up and caught her
鯨魚尾巴甩起來 打中了船身
All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
所有水手都到船舷來 用魚叉與鯨魚搏斗
When she dived down low huh
只是它又潛入了水中
Soon may the Wellerman come

No line was cut no whale was freed

The captain’s mind was not of greed

And he belonged to the Whaleman’s creed
而是堅守捕鯨者的信條
She took that ship in tow huh
鯨魚拖著船行進
Soon may the Wellerman come

We’ll take our leave and go

For forty days or even more
四十多天時間
The line went slack then tight once more
釣索松弛了下來 后來又繃緊了
All boats were lost there were only four
所有小船都失蹤了 只剩四艘
But still that whale did go
但那一頭鯨魚依然在游弋
Soon may the Wellerman come
Wellerman很快就要來了
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
給我們帶來糖 茶和朗姆酒
One day when the tonguin’ is done

As far as I’ve heard the fight’s still on
據(jù)我所知 這場博弈還在進行著
The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone
