Once there was an old ocean 从前，有一个古老的海洋

Where anyone who saw it 凡任何人谁看到它

Grew old with the sea 变老与海

And we were terrified of water 我们被吓坏了的水

And of all the sons and daughters 和所有的儿女

No one dared to see 没有人敢看

On the banks of the coastline 对海岸线的银行

I tracked a bleeding loved one 我找到出血心爱的人

Whose blood was mingling 谁的血混在一起

In the saltiest of waters 在最咸的水域

Cause apparently they faltered 原因很明显，他们步履蹒跚

Never again to be seen 再也不要看到

   

So I try, I cry 所以我尝试，我哭了

I try, and eyes scry 我试着和眼睛占卜

   

This old warship has wounds and 这个古老的军舰有伤口，

It won't sail for nothin' 它不会对航行没什么

An old sailor said to me 一个老水手对我说：

And I was foolish not to listen 我是愚蠢不听

And paid such close conviction 并付出了这么密切的信念

And all the lies I believed 和所有的谎话我相信

"But if you lend me some more labor “但是，如果你能借给我一些更多的劳动

And you put your name on paper 而你把你的名字在纸上

We just might catch a breeze" 我们也许会搭上一件轻而易举的事“

I know now he was not a Captain 我现在知道他不是队长

Now because of all my actions 现在，因为我所有的行动

I grow alone with the sea 我独自成长与海
