We were far from the shores of England
早已不见英国曲折海岸
Far from our children and wives
我们远离儿女妻眷
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
在这新大陆上孤注一掷
Where the wind cuts like a knife
在那寒风凛冽的纽芬兰
We were far from the shores of England
只不见英国的曲折海岸
We shipped on board the Maryanne
乘着玛丽安娜启航
To find a better life
更好的生活是我们的向往
And we walked across the water
但当我们涉过深海
When she broke up on the ice
她于坚冰中碎亡
We came ashore in Carbonear
我们在卡伯尼亚登陆
With nothing but our rights
唯余锁具，伴飘渺之权
And I wondered if I e'er again
恍然间我将过去回望
Would see my London lights
似有伦敦之光
We were far from the shores of England
消失的英国海岸
Far from our children and wives
更无论儿女妻眷
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
我们在海岛上孤注一掷
Where the wind cuts like a knife
寒风凛冽如剜
We were far from the shores of England
却不见英国海岸
We spend our days amid the waves
疾风骤雨间我们惶惶度日
Working water, hook and twine
与水相伴，船钩绳索盘绕
We would go for weeks with blistered cheeks
等待数周直到脸颊起泡
Waiting for the sun to shine
看那阳光照耀
But as long as the sky hold over us
但只要蓝天拥抱
We will not taste the brine
我们不会苟尝卤水
And we'll curse the cod
我们诅咒这哄骗
With the fear of God
奉以神之怒
As we haul in every line
随着被拖拽的绳索
We were far from the shores of England
远望时不见英国海岸
Far from our children and wives
更无论儿女妻眷
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
只能在这港口旁孤注一掷
Where the wind cuts like a knife
任凭寒风肆虐
We were far from the shores of England
远离熟悉的海岸线
Far from our native soil
远离故土
To chase a wish and hunt the Fish
追寻愿景，望海而渔
And on the rocks to toil
在岩石间跋涉
Should we find Fortune's Favour
不知我们是否会得幸运垂青
And be spared from the gale
免遭狂风洗礼
We will live off honest labour
我们自食其力
With our hearts as big as sails
凭借那海浪般宽广的胸怀
But if I should die don't bury me
若我之将死切勿埋葬
Or leave me to the sea
亦勿空掷于海
Please send my bones back to my home
请收藏我的骸骨，将其送还我的家乡
Where my spirit can be free
让我魂归矣，自由飘荡
We were far from the shores of England
魂兮归来！纵英国路远
Far from our children and wives
纵妻眷不见
To play our hand in the Newfoundland
为何要在纽芬兰孤注一掷
Where the wind cuts like a knife
听寒风肆虐
We were far from the shores of England
不见故国
Far from our native soil
不感故土
To chase a wish and hunt the Fish
只为缥缈之念，糊口之鱼
And on the rocks to toil
漫漫跋涉岩间
We were far from the shores of England
却不见故国
England
