Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean 有一次，我一个愚蠢的想法给了大洋彼岸

The future for me didn't look to bright 未来对我来说并没有看向光明

So I signed up with a tanker, 所以我注册了一个加油机，

got on board and raised the anchor 上船的时候就和提出的锚

Stood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight 站着看金门淡出人们的视线

Nineteen days and nights we traveled 十九个日日夜夜，我们走过

Through the stormy seas we battled 经过惊涛骇浪，我们作战

'Till we landed in Australia far away 直到我们降落在澳大利亚远

Far from friends and San Francisco 远离朋友和旧金山

and the Miss I thought I'll miss so 和小姐，我想我会想念

'Till I stepped ashore in Melbourne that first day “直到我在墨尔本上岸的第一天

   

So in love but couldn't get her 那么爱，但不能让她

cared so much, couldn't forget her 照顾这么多，不能忘记她

I fell in love just a little bit more and more 我爱上了只是一点点越来越多

There I was just like I started 在那里，我简直就像我开始

all alone and broken hearted 孤独和心碎

I recall the day I left Australia's shore 我记得有一天我离开了澳大利亚的海岸

I was standing there and tryin' 我站在那里，试着

so hard to keep from crying 所以很难保持在哭泣

The more I tried, the more my tears would show 我越努力，越我的眼泪会显示

Then a cold breeze seem to whisper 然后，一阵冷风似乎耳语

"it's the end you better kiss her" “这是你到底好吻她”

So I kissed her and I turned away to go 于是，我吻了她，我扭头走

   

Then I left Melba from Melbourne 然后，我离开了吐司从墨尔本

She made my heart yearn 她做了我的心脏向往

She made my tears flow like wine 她让我的眼泪流似酒

She wouldn't leave there 她不会离开那里

I couldn't stay there 我不能呆在那里

So Melba could never be mine 所以，吐司永远是我的
