He had a 12 foot Schooner 他有一个12英尺的帆船

Full of the catch of the day 完整一天的渔获

And he was wrinkled from grinnin' 他是从的笑着皱“

From all of the sun he had been in 从所有的太阳，他曾在

He was barefoot, cerveza in hand 他打着赤脚， Cerveza塔在手

He said "Gracias senor", when I paid him too much for 他说：“格拉西亚斯感光芯片” ，当我付给他太多

All of the Snapper he had 他所有的鳍笛鲷

Now I told him my friend it ain't nothin' 现在，我告诉他，我的朋友也没什么

In the best broken Spanish I knew 在最好的破西班牙我知道

Somewhere over Texas 某处在德州

And all the stuff I work so hard for 和所有的东西，我这么辛苦了

And all the things that I've gathered 和所有的事情，我已经收集

From climbing that ladder 爬不动了梯子

Didn't make much sense anymore 并没有太大的意义了

They say my nest egg ain't ready to hatch yet 他们说我的积蓄还没有准备好孵化尚未

They keep holding my feet to the fire 他们一直抱着我的脚火

And play my guitar 和我玩吉他

And laugh at the bar with my friends 嘲笑我的朋友吧

And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made 想想看，我想有一段时间，我已经取得了它

When the truth is I'm really just dying 当事实是我真的只是垂死

To live like Jose 活得像何塞

   

And just fish 而就在鱼

Go home to my wife 回家我老婆
