Sailing To Philadelphia (Live From Music Bank London2011) 歌詞
I'm Jeremiah Dixon
我叫Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
是一個Geordie男孩
A glass of wine with you, sir
嗨,先生您的酒來了
And the ladies I'll enjoy
哦,這些女人長得真漂亮
All Durham and Northumberland
我親手度量了整個...
Is measured up by my own hand
達勒姆郡和諾森伯蘭郡
It was my fate from birth
我一出生...
To make my mark upon the earth...
就注定要被世界銘記
He calls me Charlie Mason
他稱我為Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
一個占星師
It seems that I was born
似乎我生來...
To chart the evening sky
就是為了記錄星空的
They'd cut me out for baking bread
他們想讓我烤麵包
But I had other dreams instead
但我卻有另外的理想
This baker's boy from the west country
這個麵包師的兒子來自西南部
Would join the Royal Society...
將要進入皇家學會
We are sailing to Philadelphia
我們正在去費城的路上
A world away from the coaly Tyne
那是一個遠離漆黑的泰恩河的地方
Sailing to Philadelphia
去費城
To draw the line
闖出一番事業
The Mason-Dixon line
Mason-Dixon的事業
你現在成了一個不錯的勘察員,Dixon
Now you're good surveyor, a Dixon
但我肯定你會把我逼瘋的
But I swear you'll make me mad
西方人會殺了我們的
The West will kill us both
你這愚蠢的伐木小子
You gullible Geordie lad
你說自由
You talk of liberty
美國能給我們什麼自由
How can America be free
一個伐木小子和麵包師的兒子
A Geordie and a baker's boy
在Iroquois(加、美)的森林裡
In the forest of the Iroquois...
抬起頭來,Mason
Now hold your up, head Mason
看,美國就在那兒
朝陽已經升起
See America lies there
那是Delaware金色的披肩
The morning tide has raised
來一起沐浴這燦爛的陽光
The capes of Delaware
一個新的早晨已經開始了
Come up and feel the sun
明天也會更加美好
A new morning is begun
為什麼你的星星把我們帶到這兒
Another day will make it clear
我們正要前往費城
Why your stars should guide us here...
一個遠離漆黑的泰恩河的地方
We are sailing to Philadelphia
去費城那是一個遠離漆黑的泰恩河的地方
A world away from the coaly Tyne
闖出一番事業
Sailing to Philadelphia
Mason-Dixon的事業
To draw the line
The Meson-Dixon line The Meson-Dixon line
