For his jovial company

"Such things they canna be

A robber on the sea."
在海上烧杀夺掠(国王想说海盗吧)。

Wi' fower an' twenty mariners
配了二十名水手,
To guard his bonnie ship wi'
来好好护卫她的安全。
They sailed up an' they sailed doon

Sae stately blythe an' free
威风凛凛又自由。
Till they spied the king's high Reindeer
直到他们看到了国王伟大的驯鹿舰队(这个我是真的没有相关知识,估计是船名,请大佬指教),

Tell ye your king fae me
替我转告你们的国王:
Though he reign king upon good dry land
陆地上的头头们归他管,
I will reign king upon the sea."
但在海上国王可都要听我号令哩(这句也可以说“你统治陆地我统治海洋,但是这个语序emmmm)!
