Shipbuilding - June Tabor

Shipbuilding - June Tabor
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Is it worth it
这一切值得吗
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
为妻子添置冬衣新鞋
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
在儿子生日送辆单车
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
不过是镇上流传的谣言
By the women and children
妇孺们口耳相传
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
很快我们就要去造船
Well I ask you the boy said
孩子这样问我
"Dad they're going to take me to task but I'll be back by Christmas"
"爸爸 他们要我负责 但圣诞节前就能回来"
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
不过是镇上流传的谣言
Somebody said that someone got filled in
有人说有人因此丧命
For saying that people get killed in the result of this shipbuilding
只因道破造船业吞噬生命的真相
With all the will in the world
纵使心怀美好愿望
Diving for dear life when we could be diving for pearls
我们却在为活命而潜水 而非采撷珍珠
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
不过是镇上流传的谣言
A telegram or a picture postcard
一封电报或明信片传来消息
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
数周内船坞将重新开工
And notifying the next of kin once again
又一次通知遇难者家属
It's all we're skilled in we will be shipbuilding
我们唯一擅长的 就是造船维生
With all the will in the world
纵使心怀美好愿望
Diving for dear life when we could be diving for pearls
我们却在为活命而潜水 而非采撷珍珠
With all the will in the world
纵使心怀美好愿望
Diving for dear life
为活命而深潜
