Carrickfergus

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
[]我的朋友和我的家人
Only for nights in Ballygrand
我心所向,Carrickfergus
I would swim over the deepest ocean
只為那Ballygrand的夜晚
the deepest ocean for my love to find
我想游過那深邃的大海
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
將我的愛來尋覓
And neither have I wings to fly
但是苦海無涯，我無能為力
If I could find me a handsome boatman
也沒有翅膀，載我飛翔
To ferry me over over to my love and I
如果我能找到一個船夫
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
帶我到彼岸，帶她的身旁
Of happy time there spent so long ago
那些童年時光已經一去不復返
Have all passed on now like the melting snow
現在想起，不禁潸然淚下
So I'll spend my days in this endless roving
人走茶涼，往事如煙
Soft is the grass and shore my bed is free
所以我繼續漂泊
But to be home now in carrickfergus
芳草作榻，何處無床
On the long road down to the salty sea
回想家鄉
And in Kilkenny there it is reported
我卻在這條路上，漸行漸遠
On marble stone there as black as ink
在Killkenny
With gold and silver I would support her
怪石嶙峋，黑如墨蒼
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink
傾盡所有，將她供養
For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
非酒酣時，不能歌唱
The handsome rover from town to town
我願今朝買醉，醉不復醒
Ah but I am sick now my days are numbered
四海為家,浪跡天涯
so come here young men and lay me down
雖然心有餘情，但我餘日無多

所以年輕人啊，來吧，將我埋葬。
