One night as I lay on my bed
那夜我躺在床上
I lay so fast asleep
沉沉睡去入梦乡
When the thought of my true love come running in my head
心上人的倩影浮现脑海
And sailors that sail on the deep
水手们仍在深海远航
As I sailed out one day one day
某日我扬帆出海
And being not far from land
离岸不远的地方
There I saw a mermaid sat on a rock
忽见美人鱼端坐礁石上
A comb and a glass in her hand
手执梳镜梳妆忙
Now the song she sang she sang so sweet
她歌声如此甜美动人
No answer at all could I say
我却无言以对
Till our gallant ship she swung round about
直到我们英勇的船调转方向
Which made our poor hearts to ache
让我们心痛不已
Then up stepped the helmsman of our ship
这时舵手走上甲板
In his hand a lead and line
手中拿着测深绳
For to sound the seas so wide and so deep
测量这辽阔深邃的海域
No hard rock or sand could he find
却找不到坚硬的岩石或沙地
Up stepped the captain of our ship
我们的船长挺身而出
And a well-speaking man is he
他是位能言善辩之人
He says I have a wife in fair Plymouth town
他说在普利茅斯有位贤妻
This night and a widow she'll be
今夜她将沦为寡妇
Up stepped the bosun of our ship
我们的水手长站了出来
And a well-spoken man was he
他也是位口才出众之人
He says I have two sons in fair Bristol town
他说布里斯托有两个儿子
And orphans I fear they will be
恐怕他们即将成为孤儿
And then up stepped our cabin boy
这时我们的小船舱男孩走上前来
And a fine pretty boy was he
他是个俊秀的好少年
He says oh I grieve for my mother dear
他说哦我为我亲爱的母亲悲伤
Whom I shall never more see
我将再也见不到她
Last night last night when the moon shone bright
昨夜昨夜当月光皎洁时
My mother she had sons five
我的母亲曾有五个儿子
But now she may look in the salt salt sea
但现在她只能望向咸咸的大海
And find but one alive
寻找唯一存活的那个
Call for boats call for boats my fair Plymouth boys
呼唤救生艇 呼唤救生艇 我亲爱的普利茅斯男孩们
Do you hear how the trumpets sound
你可听见号角声声悲鸣
For the want of a long-boat in the ocean we're lost
因缺少救生艇 我们迷失在汪洋
And most of our merry men drowned
欢笑的伙伴们多已葬身海底
