New Zealand Folk - Wellerman 歌词翻译

曾经有一艘船出了海
那艘船名字叫“运茶的比利”
狂风袭来 船头下沉
吹吧吹吧 尽管吹吧

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

船离岸还不到两周
一头露脊鲸杀了出来
船长对全体船员发誓说：
他一定盯住这头鲸鱼

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

船还没正式航行
鲸鱼的尾巴就扫过来了
所有人都到船的一侧拿鱼叉叉鲸鱼
然后鲸鱼沉回了海里去

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

绳子没断，鲸鱼没逃
船长头脑里装的不是贪婪
而是捕鲸人的信条
信条跟着我们的船

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

四十多天下来
钓索松弛后 又绷紧了
其他小船都失踪了 只剩下四艘
但那头鲸鱼还在游

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

据我所知 这场战斗仍在继续
钓索没断 鲸鱼也没逃脱
维勒尔曼每隔一段时间
就鼓励船长和船员们

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

“维勒尔曼”很快就要来了
给我们带来蔗糖、茶叶还有朗姆酒
等到我们把鲸鱼处理好了
我们就能离开了

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go

She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He’d take that whale in tow

Soon may the Wellerman come
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
The whale’s tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed
The Captain’s mind was not of greed
But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed
She took the ship in tow

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go

For forty days, or even more
The line went slack, then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go

As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on
The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
