The Voyage of the Moon

The Moon is like a boat, my love
月亮就像一艘小船，我亲爱的
Of lemon peel afloat, my love
也像漂浮在水面上的柠檬皮
And with a sail of gauze, my love
这船儿有着轻纱做的帆，我亲爱的
She seems to slightly pause

Upon her silent way
在这风平浪静的海路上
All on her silent way
在这风平浪静的海路上
I see her pearly decks, my love
我看到她珍珠般的甲板，我亲爱的
Set in with twinkling specks, my love
它闪烁着璀璨的银光
I see her pearly mast, my love

Far from her seashell past
早已洗尽铅华，光耀夺目
And gently does she sway
而她也随着小船轻轻摇摆
All on her starry way
在这洒满星光的海路上
Of silk they have been spun, my love
他们纺出细腻的丝绸，我亲爱的
Her ropes that limply run, my love
用来做船上的绳索
Down to her carved prow, my love
系在那精心雕琢的船头
Down to her mermaid prow
系在那美人鱼般的船头
And softly does she sway
而她也随着小船轻轻摇摆
All on her starry way
在这洒满星光的海路上
All in the Sea of Sky, my love
在天空的海洋里，我亲爱的
The moonships sail and fly, my love

Though many are their kind, my love

They all need but one wind
但它们所需的不过是一阵清风
To make their starry way
让它们航行在这洒满星光的海路上
To make their starry way
让它们航行在这洒满星光的海路上
And there will come a time, my love

Oh, may it be in mine, my love

When men will proudly rise, my love

And board to sail the skies

All in that wondrous fleet, my love
在那梦幻般的船舰中
As each the other meets
当他们彼此相遇时
Will smile and softly sing

With golden flowing hair
