Down by the dockyard
码头区荒芜一片
The water's lie still
水面死寂无波
The big cranes like tombstones surround her
高耸的起重机如墓碑将她环绕
Down by the dockyard
码头区荒芜一片
The water's lie still
水面死寂无波
Dead as the city
如同这座死城
Bounds her
将她囚禁
The old woman wrapped
老妇人裹着
In her long faded shawl
褪色的长披肩
In the doorway she waits for tomorrow
在门廊等待明天
Once there was laughter
曾经欢笑声
Behind her old walls
回荡旧墙间
Now just the gray face of sorrow
如今只剩悲伤的灰颜
The houses are empty
房屋皆空荡
The neighbors all gone
邻里尽离散
The stones are still standing
石碑依旧矗立
But they're standing alone
却只剩孤影伶仃
As the boat bound for liver pool
当驶向利物浦的航船
Sings her song
轻吟她的歌谣
The cobble stones echo
鹅卵石回荡着
The silence
无言的寂静
Down by the dockyard
码头区荒芜一片
The water's lie still
水面死寂无波
The big cranes like tombstones surround her
高耸的起重机如墓碑将她环绕
Down by the dockyard
码头区荒芜一片
The water's lie still
水面死寂无波
Dead as the city
如同这座死城
Bounds her
将她囚禁
Once she stood proud
她曾昂首挺立
And she held
骄傲地
Her head high
高昂着头颅
Her meal was her factories growing
她的工厂曾是她的食粮
Until hate came to rule her
直到仇恨主宰了她的命运
And men told her lies
人们用谎言蒙蔽了她
Father fought son
父子相残
Never knowing
浑然不觉
The gun became master
枪械成了主宰
And prejudice ruled
偏见统治一切
A home made for madmen
疯人构筑的家园
A haven for fools
愚者栖息的港湾
Still she's built her own wasteland
她仍在教堂与学堂
In her churches and schools
建造自己的荒原
Dead as the children she's buried
如同埋葬的孩童般死寂
