"Return my blue eyed sailor boy safely back to me. “回到我的蓝眼睛的水手男孩安全地回到我身边。

Forgive me if I ask too much, I will not ask for more, 请原谅我，如果我问得太多，我不会要求更多，

but I shall weep until he sleeps safe upon the shore." 但我会哭泣，直到他睡着岸上安全的。 “

the drifting tip of some wrecked ship came floating ever near. 一些失事船漂流尖来到浮过近。

let true love not be torn apart 让真正的爱情不被撕裂

by favours from the sea. 从海上青睐。

   

My love, she cried as she a spied the figure on the spar, 我的爱，她哭了，因为她是一名暗中监视晶石的身影，

She thought with bliss how she would kiss the lips she did adore, 她认为与幸福，她怎么会吻嘴唇，她也爱，

and oh, how sweet to see his feet safe upon the shore. 哦，多么甜蜜，看他的脚安全的岸上。

As she drew near, she felt the fear that something was astray. 当她近了，她感到恐惧的东西是误入歧途。

His mouth was slack and his blue eyes stared blindly at the day. 他的嘴松弛和他的蓝眼睛在一天盲目地瞪大了眼睛。

And in a daze, she turned her gaze from the corpse the driftwood bore, 而在发呆，她把她的目光从尸体的浮木孔，

and the cold cold sea pushed ruthlessly, safe upon the shore. 和风寒感冒大海无情地推，岸上的安全。

Now fishermen, they cast their nets like miners pan for gold. 现在的渔民，他们撒网像矿工淘金。

And sailors push off from the docks and pray the gales will hold. 和水手从码头蹬，并祈祷大风将举行。

The sea just sits silently, but sometimes, she does more. 海只是静静地坐着，但有时，她做更多。

And someone weeps as her love sleeps safe upon the shore. 有人哭她的爱睡在岸边的安全。
