歌词
When I sailed into Portland town
当我把船驶入（小镇）Portland
I called upon my dear
我回到了我心爱的人那里
Her window held a candle
蜡烛在她窗前
It's light shone bright and clear
发出明亮的光
I walked up to her doorstep
我向门前走去
I knew she was within
我知道她在里面
Her candle told the story, boys
伙计们，她的蜡烛证实了我的猜测
And I was home again
我再次回到了家
I like her good behaviour
我喜欢她的良好品行
I like her easy way
喜欢她放松的方式
I cannot sleep contented
我无法安然睡去
The night seems like the day
黑夜如白昼般漫长
To sail in muddy weather
在恶劣的天气里行驶
It makes me want to shout
让我想呐喊
And roll her in my arms, boys
伙计们，我想把她拥入怀中
And blow the candle out
想把蜡烛吹灭
When I got home to Portland
当我回到Portland
'T was as I said before
就像我前面所说的
The candle at the window
窗前点着蜡烛
And my love at the door
我的爱人在房门前等待着（我的归来）
We let the candle go, boys
伙计们，我们带着蜡烛
We had no care or strife
没有任何的不安和冲突
We went to see the parson
前去牧师家里
And she became my wife
她变成了我的妻子
And when we have a baby, boys
伙计们，当我们有了自己的孩子
We'll name him after me
我们会以我的名字给他命名
She'll keep him neat and kiss him
她会让他干干净净的，也会亲吻他
And rock him on her knee
会把他放在膝前摇
And when this trip is over
当航程结束
I'll sail no more about
我将不再行驶
Yes, I'll remain in Portland, Maine
是的，我会留在Portland, Maine
To blow the candle out
把蜡烛吹灭
