It's a hazy winter's day 这是一个朦胧的冬天的一天

And I'm staring out on the southland 而我凝视着在南国

In the twilight distance on the bay 在海湾暮色距离

My mind sees you running through the marshland 我的情思，你通过沼泽地运行

All these years I've been waiting for you 这些年来我一直在等你

Through the high tides and the low tides too 通过涨潮和退潮太

But if I stop now how could I ever be with you? 但是，如果我现在停下我怎么会永远和你在一起？

   

It's a long race 这是一个漫长的比赛

If I try I will surely finish 如果我尝试，我必将结束

It's a long race 这是一个漫长的比赛

If I try I will surely win it 如果我尝试，我必将赢得胜利

Some day some night with you 有一天晚上有你

   

There's a village on the lower Eastern Shore 还有在较低东海岸的一个村庄

Where the watermen's boats are anchored 当船夫的船都停泊

And they work so hard all day long 他们这么辛苦，整天

Showing me what you want to go after 显示我想要去后，有什么

All these years I've been pushing so hard 这些年来我一直在推这么难

Through the high times and the low times too 通过高倍和低倍过

But if I stop now 但是，如果我现在停止

How could I know what I could do? 我怎么会知道自己能做什么？

   

It's a long race 这是一个漫长的比赛

If I try I will surely finish 如果我尝试，我必将结束

It's a long race 这是一个漫长的比赛

If I try I will surely win it 如果我尝试，我必将赢得胜利

Some day some night with you 有一天晚上有你
