歌词
Is it worth it
值得吗?
A new winters coat and shoes for the wife
一件新冬衣,还有给妻子的鞋子
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
和一辆自行车,给那天生日的男孩
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
这只是谣言,被妇女和儿童
By the woman and children, soon we'll be shipbuilding
传到满城风雨:很快,我们就要去造船了
Well I ask you
然后我问他
The boy said dad there going to take me to task
男孩说:“爸爸,他们会带我一起去
But I'll be back by Christmas
但我会在圣诞节之前回家"
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
这只是谣言,被传到满城风雨 被传到满城风雨
Somebody said that someone got filled in
有人说,因为造船
For saying that people get killed in the results of their shipbuilding
一些人被杀死了
With all the will in the world
当我们可以潜入深水,祈求珍珠的时候
Diving for dear life
就用尽全力
When we could be diving for pearls
去祈求灿烈的生命
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
这只是谣言,被传到满城风雨
A telegram or a picture postcard
没过多久
Within weeks we will be reopening the shipyard
电报拍回了一张明信片,他们将再开船坞
And notifying the next of kin, once again

It's always killed in, we will be shipbuilding
这是我们唯一擅长的活计,我们也将再去造船
With all the will in the world
当我们可以潜入深水,祈求珍珠的时候
Diving for dear life
就用尽全力
When we could be diving for pearls
去祈求灿烈的生命
With all the will in the world
当我们可以潜入深水,祈求珍珠的时候
Diving for dear life
就用尽全力
When we could be diving for pearls
去祈求灿烈的生命
