歌词
Father’s a drinker
爸爸是个大酒鬼
Rolls down the stairs
踉踉跄跄滚下楼梯
When I am with him
与他在一起的时候
I could be anywhere
我可以去任何地方
我要读遍世上每一本书
I will read every book of the world
翻过一页又一页，爱尔兰女孩啊
Turning pages, Irish girl
在我的小屋里谱写童话
In my tenement fairy-tale
他叫我“小歌后”
还揉着我的鼻子
He calls me prima donna
说我得了重重的成长病
Still rubs my nose
梦想的年纪是否已离我远去
Says I’ve got a bad, bad case of growing up
宛如天使的语言
Is dream time closed?
那海蚌和贝壳啊
爸爸唱着古老歌谣时
The language of angels,
就如花瓣一样散落
Mussels and seashells,
我们一起走的时候
Is when Pappa sings old Ballads
浓浓春意浮上我的脸颊
Scatters like petals
我害怕妈妈说他是骗子
每个地方都有一群梦想家
When we walk
每个人都有一首自己的歌
There is Spring in my cheek
时光流逝海床也在改变
I fear Mamma thinks that he’s a cheat
风吹拂着种子生根发芽
哈德逊河的潮水在流淌
Every place has its dreamers
布鲁克林有棵树在成长
And everyone has a song
新鲜的，还是活的，噢
The ocean bed it changes
新鲜的，还是活的，噢
The winds blow seeds to sow
新鲜的牡蛎和贻贝啊，还是活的，噢
The tide of the Hudson is flowing
A tree in Brooklyn it grows
Alive, alive-oh,
Alive, alive-oh,
Crying ‘Cockles and mussels alive, alive-oh’
