the shoals of herring

O, it was a fine and a pleasant day
那是風和日麗的一天
Out of Yarmouth harbour I was faring
在雅茅斯港外的海上
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
我在一艘帆船上做水手
For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring
出海去捕獵漂亮的鯡魚群
O, I earned my keep and I paid my way
以此來維持生計養活自己
And I earned the gear that I was wearing
還掙來了我身上的這套行頭
Sailed a million miles, caught ten-million fishes
航行了百萬公里捕獲了千萬條魚
As we hunted in the shoals of herring
我們要去捕獵漂亮的鯡魚群
Night and day the seas were darin
日日夜夜與風浪搏鬥
Come wind or calm or winter gale
無論是狂風大作，風平浪靜還是寒風凜冽
Sweating or cold
汗流浹背還是寒冷徹骨
Growing up, growing old or dying
我慢慢成長，慢慢衰老，最終死去
As we hunted the bonny shoals of herring
我們要去捕獵美麗的鯡魚群
