以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
All you who look down on me
你们这些俯视我的人
With that judgement in your eyes
眼中尽是审判的目光
While the jury picks it's fate for me
当陪审团决定我的命运时
I'd have you save your sighs
请省下你们的叹息
As a child with no family
自幼无依无靠的我
I was begging on the street
曾流落街头乞讨为生
When great fortune
直到命运的眷顾
Came and made me a herring girl
让我成为鲱鱼女郎
I don't come from these islands
我并非来自这片岛屿
From England I have roamed
从英格兰漂泊至此
And born in Great Yarmouth
生于大雅茅斯港
That is my native home
那是我魂牵梦萦的故乡
In Autumn when the girls
当秋日来临
All chased the fish down from the north
姑娘们追逐着北来的鱼群
How I longed that I would
我多渴望有朝一日
One day be a herring girl
也能成为鲱鱼女郎
A young girl down from Aberdeen
有位来自阿伯丁的年轻姑娘
Took sick and to her bed
病倒卧床不起
I asked if there was work
我询问可有活计
And down to Rhona I was led
便被领到罗娜身旁
Oh she smiled at the height of me
她笑盈盈打量我的个头
And said that I would do
说我正合适
And as a Packer I was joined
于是我作为包装工加入
To be a herring girl
成为鲱鱼女郎
This season started up in Scotland
渔季始于苏格兰海岸
I'd just turned sixteen
我刚满十六岁那年
And Rhona she's the greatest gutter
罗娜是最出色的剖鱼手
Stornoway has seen
斯托诺威无人能及
At eighty fish a minute
每分钟处理八十条鱼
And with Mary not much less
玛丽也毫不逊色
We three we're famed
我们三人声名远扬
As the best crew of herring girls
是最优秀的鲱鱼女工团
Last Saturday was dancing day
上周六本是欢舞时节
And the boys were in the town
镇上少年们熙熙攘攘
We were packing up and cleaning up
我们正收拾清洗器具
And heading for our room
准备回到栖身小屋
When a stranger crept behind us
却有陌生人尾随而至
And an ally out the back
同伙埋伏在后巷暗处
Out to catch himself a couple
妄图掳走两个
Of fresh herring girls
鲜活的鲱鱼姑娘
Oh so suddenly he's on us
他突然向我们扑来
And he's knocked me to the ground
将我狠狠摔倒在地
And he's pinned our Rhona by the throat
掐住罗娜的喉咙
So she couldn't make a sound
让她发不出声响
But from her apron pocket fell a knife
但她的围裙口袋滑出一把刀
So keen and sharp
锋利无比
I've taught that man the price
我已让那人付出代价
Of fishing for a herring girl
让他明白招惹鲱鱼女工的下场
All you who look down on me
你们这些俯视我的人
With that judgement in your eyes
眼中尽是审判的目光
While the jury picks it's fate for me
当陪审团决定我的命运时
I'd have you save your sighs
请省下你们的叹息
For I'd gladly do the same again
因为我仍会毫不犹豫
To any man that tries
对任何胆敢尝试的人
Test his luck
让他试试运气
And take advantage of a herring girl
欺负一个鲱鱼女工的下场
