歌词与中文翻译
Sittin' in the morning sun
静坐于晨光之中，
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
直至夜幕降临。
Watching the ships roll in
望着靠岸的来往船只，
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
再目送它们离去。
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
我就坐在湾边的码头上，
Watching the tide roll away
静坐于晨光之中，
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
我就坐在湾边的码头上消磨时间。
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco bay
我独自离开故乡佐治亚，只身来到旧金山湾。
'Cos I've had nothing to live for
因为我即没有生活的信念支撑，
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
也不指望任何事物与我作伴。
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
所以我就坐在湾边的码头上，
Watching the tide roll away
静坐于晨光之中，
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
我就坐在湾边的码头上消磨时间。
Look like nothing's gonna change
悟到没有什么会因我而变，
Everything still remains the same
万事万物依旧。
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
我不依照别人的指挥做事，
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
所以才可不忘初心。
Sittin' here resting my bones
坐在此处静下心来，
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
唯有孤独与我相伴。
2000 miles I've roamed
我已走过2000英里路途，
Just to make this dock my home
仅有这码头作栖身之所。
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
我只得继续坐在湾边的码头上，
Watching the tide roll away
继续望着潮起潮落。
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
我就坐在湾边的码头上消磨时间。
