They say there's an underground river
传说有一条地下暗河
That none of us can see
凡人肉眼无法窥见
And it flows through winding tunnels
它蜿蜒流过幽深隧道
On it's way to a tideless sea
最终汇入无潮之海
And across that sea is an island
海的彼岸有座岛屿
A paradise we are told
传说中是人间乐土
Where the toils of life are forgotten
那里洗尽尘世劳苦
And they call it the island of souls
人们唤它灵魂之岛
For only a soul can go there
唯有灵魂能抵达彼岸
A soul that's been set free
那挣脱桎梏的自由灵魂
From the confines of a working life
从劳役生活的樊笼中
To find eternity
寻得永恒归宿
Hum hmmm

Oh a man builds a cage with the tools he is given
人啊 用命运赐予的工具铸造牢笼
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun
铆枪钉死的棺木便是终局
All the days in between he's just making a livin'
而浮生碌碌 不过苟且谋生
'Til he takes to his bed where he lays down his head
直到他卧床安眠 放下疲惫的头颅
And he's passed on his tools to his son
将毕生工具传予儿郎
'Til the ship's left the quay only now is he free
直到航船离岸 此刻终得自由
And the days of his labor are done
劳碌岁月就此落幕

This is what we do we build ships
我们世代造船 以此为生
