歌词
It was early, early all in the spring
在那早春时节
When my love Willy went to serve the king
我亲爱的威利为君王效劳远航
The night being dark and the wind blew high
那刮着凄厉悲风的黑夜
Which parted me from my sailor boy
将威利带离我的身旁
哦父亲，父亲请为我造一艘小舟
Oh father, father build me a boat
我将漂泊在汪洋
For on the ocean I mean to float
注视往来的舰船
To watch the big ships as they pass by
探听水手威利的讯息
For I might inquire of my sailor boy
她刚航行不到一两周
便看到了船长与他麾下僚属
She had not sailed there for a week or two
哦船长，船长请将实情向我倾诉
When she spied the Captain and all his crew
我的爱人威利是否身在你的行伍
O Captain, Captain come tell me true
哦美丽的夫人，他不在此处
Does my love Willy sail on board with you?
我恐怕他已溺亡或迷失路途
当我们航经你的黛绿岛屿
O fair maid, fair maid he is not here
在那里失去了那位英勇的水手
He's lost or drowned that I am afraid
她痛苦地绞着双手，撕扯头发
On you green island as we passed by
深陷痛苦绝望
'Twas there we lost a fine sailor boy
她要来纸笔与墨水
今后的每一夜都滴下眼泪
She wrung her hands and she tore her hair
写下的每个字都呼唤爱人
Just like a lady in deep despair
哦父亲，父亲请为我掘一座坟茔
She called for paper, both pen and ink
将它掘得宽敞深长
And every night she did drop a tear
将大理石碑立在我的头边与脚旁
And every word she calls Willy here
让世界知道我悲伤而亡
O father, father dig me a grave
Go dig it long and go dig it wide
Place marble stone on my head and feet
That the world may know that I died in grief
