England

We were far from the shores of England
早已不見英國曲折海岸
Far from our children and wives
我們遠離兒女妻眷
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
在這新大陸上孤注一擲
Where the wind cuts like a knife
在那寒風凜冽的紐芬蘭
We were far from the shores of England
只不見英國的曲折海岸
We shipped on board the Maryanne
乘著瑪麗安娜啟航
To find a better life
更好的生活是我們的嚮往
And we walked across the water
但當我們涉過深海
When she broke up on the ice
她於堅冰中碎亡
We came ashore in Carbonear
我們在卡伯尼亞登陸
With nothing but our rights
唯餘鎖具，伴飄渺之權
And I wondered if I e'er again
恍然間我將過去回望
Would see my London lights
似有倫敦之光
We were far from the shores of England
消失的英國海岸
Far from our children and wives
更無論兒女妻眷
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
我們在海島上孤注一擲
Where the wind cuts like a knife
寒風凜冽如剜
We were far from the shores of England
卻不見英國海岸
We spend our days amid the waves
疾風驟雨間我們惶惶度日
Working water, hook and twine
與水相伴，船鉤繩索盤繞
We would go for weeks with blistered cheeks
等待數週直到臉頰起泡
Waiting for the sun to shine
看那陽光照耀
But as long as the sky hold over us
但只要藍天擁抱
We will not taste the brine
我們不會苟嘗鹵水
And we'll curse the cod
我們詛咒這哄騙
With the fear of God
奉以神之怒
As we haul in every line
隨著被拖拽的繩索
We were far from the shores of England
遠望時不見英國海岸
Far from our children and wives
更無論兒女妻眷
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
只能在這港口旁孤注一擲
Where the wind cuts like a knife
任憑寒風肆虐
We were far from the shores of England
遠離熟悉的海岸線
Far from our native soil
遠離故土
To chase a wish and hunt the Fish
追尋願景，望海而漁
And on the rocks to toil
在岩石間跋涉
Should we find Fortune's Favour
不知我們是否會得幸運垂青
And be spared from the gale
免遭狂風洗禮
We will live off honest labour
我們自食其力
With our hearts as big as sails
憑藉那海浪般寬廣的胸懷
But if I should die don't bury me
若我之將死切勿埋葬
Or leave me to the sea
亦勿空擲於海
Please send my bones back to my home
請收藏我的骸骨，將其送還我的家鄉
Where my spirit can be free
讓我魂歸矣，自由飄蕩
We were far from the shores of England
魂兮歸來！縱英國路遠
Far from our children and wives
縱妻眷不見
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
為何要在紐芬蘭孤注一擲
Where the wind cuts like a knife
聽寒風肆虐
We were far from the shores of England
不見故國
Far from our native soil
不感故土
To chase a wish and hunt the Fish
只為縹緲之念，糊口之魚
And on the rocks to toil
漫漫跋涉岩間
We were far from the shores of England
卻不見故國
