I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea 我看见三艘船，航行从隔海相望

Strangers near were welcome but for curiosity 陌生人靠近是受欢迎的，但出于好奇

But come they did and when they did ready they did stand 但到了他们做，当他们做了准备，他们曾经驻足

And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand... 而事情绝不会在我们村的沙子一样的...

   

When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide 当船拉靠岸的村民也隐藏

When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide 当麻烦来了，通常是带来了在潮

When the pirates disembarked they were making plans 当海盗下船，他们制定计划

And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand... 从此事情并不在我们村的沙一样......

   

The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run 走私者来到我们的城市，许多试图运行

I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one 我站在我的立场勇敢地来到面对面与一个

Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand 时间和旅行上的海洋风化的脸和手

He was different than the others in my Village on the Sand... 他比其他人在我的上沙新村不同...

   

He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas 他告诉了多年的我，他会用在惊涛骇浪

Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy 接着，他谈到哲学诗人的话

And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand 而当他不得不再次离开，他问我要我的手

And I knew I'd never see again my Village on the Sand... 我知道我再也见不到我的新村沙...
