[中文]

曾有艘船扬帆远航

船名为比利茶号美名扬

狂风骤起，船头入浪

喔，吹吧，我的好伙计们，吹吧 (哈)

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

离岸不过两星期

一头露脊鲸向她撞去

船长召集全体船员，发誓

他要把那鲸鱼拖走 (哈)

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

哒-哒，哒-哒-哒-哒

哒-哒-哒-哒，哒-哒-哒-哒-哒

哒-哒，哒-哒-哒-哒

哒-哒-哒-哒-哒-哒

船还没入水

鲸鱼尾巴扬起，将她抓住

全体船员到舷边，用鱼叉搏斗

当她潜入深处 (哈)

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

绳索未断，鲸鱼未放

船长的脑海里没有贪婪

他属于捕鲸人的信条

她拖着船走 (哈)

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

哒-哒，哒-哒-哒-哒

哒-哒-哒-哒，哒-哒-哒-哒-哒

哒-哒，哒-哒-哒-哒

哒-哒-哒-哒-哒-哒

四十天，甚至更多

绳索时松时紧

所有的小船都丢失了，只剩下四艘

但鲸鱼依然前行 (哈)

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

据我所知，战斗还在继续

绳索未断，鲸鱼未走

威勒曼定期来访

为了鼓励船长、船员和所有人 (哈)

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

希望威勒曼很快到来

为我们带来糖、茶和朗姆酒

当割鲸舌的工作结束时

我们将告别，扬帆走

[英语]

There once was a ship that put to sea

The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

O blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her, a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

Da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da

Before the boat had hit the water

The whale's tail came up and caught her

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her

When she dived down low (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed

The captain's mind was not on greed

And he belonged to the whaleman's creed

She took the ship in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

Da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da

For 40 days, or even more

The line went slack, then tight once more

All boats were lost, there were only four

But still that whale did go (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on

The line's not cut and the whale's not gone

The Wellerman makes his regular call

To encourage the captain, crew, and all (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

• Soon may the Wellerman come

  ➔ 强调倒装 (助动词 + 主语 + 主动词)
