If I had been born two hundred years ago 如果我已经诞生两百年前

I would have been a sailor, and sailing I would go 我是一个水手，帆船我会去

I’d sail around the Capes and across the seven seas and then back home 我周围航行的海角和整个七海，然后回家

If I had been born two hundred years ago 如果我已经诞生两百年前

   

And I would know the waters, and the waters would know me 我想知道的水域，而水域会知道我

I would cut across the waves, and be as happy as can be 我会在波浪切断，那么开心，因为可以

I’d be landless, I’d be loveless, I’d be flight and fancy-free 我会没有土地，我很无情，我会飞行和花式自由

I would know the waters, and the waters would know me 我想知道的水域，而水域会知道我

   

And when I think about the place and time where I was born 当我思考的时间和地点我出生的地方

I wonder if the hands of faith had slipped and placed me wrong 我不知道信仰的手滑了，放在我的错

‘cause there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could have worn 因为有船我可以航行和船员的靴子我可以穿

When I think about the place and time where I was born 当我想到我出生的地点和时间

   

But the ocean is still out there, magnificent and wide 但海洋依然在那里，气势恢宏，广

She’s got open arms to hold me, and endless space to hide 她有张开双臂拥抱我，和无尽的空间隐藏起来

And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside 而且抱着我的唯一的东西回来，有些事我里面举行

The ocean is still out there, magnificent and wide 海洋是仍然在那里，气势恢宏，广

   

Sailing I should go 帆船我应该去
