--
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
妈妈，海洋妈妈，我听到你的呼唤
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
我有三英尺高的时 就想在你的水域航行
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
你看到了一切，你看到了一切
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
看着驶过你的人 从船帆变成蒸汽
In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
在你的肚子里藏着 很少人见过的珍宝
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams
那是大多数人的梦想，大部分人的梦想
Yes I am a pirate, a few two hundred years too late
是的，我是海盗，晚了两百年才遇见你
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
天空不打雷，没什么可掠夺的
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
我是命运的牺牲品
Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late
太迟了，太迟了
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
我做了走私，带走了我的那份珠宝
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
我赚了足够买下迈阿密的钱 但是我很快就把它挥霍掉了
Never meant to last, never meant to last
从未想过要继续，从未想过要继续
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
我已经喝了两个多星期了
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
我晕过去了，然后又振作起来喝了几口
But I got stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'
但我得停下来，我得去钓鱼了
Down to rock bottom again
我再次跌入谷底
Just a few friends, just a few friends
我的朋友寥寥无几
Just a few friends, just a few friends
我活着但是空无一物
