The Downeaster Alexa歌词完整版
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
啊, 我正在Downeaster Alexa号船上
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
一路巡航，穿过布拉克岛海峡
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
我已经绘制了去Vineyard的航线
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
不过，今晚我要向Nantucket出发
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
昨天我们在Montauk加满柴油
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
今晨一早，就从Gardiner海湾起航
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
像所有土著人一样，我不得不卖掉我的房子
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
我日以继夜的工作，太过执拗而不曾离开
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
所以我能拥有Downeaster Alexa号
And I go where the ocean is deep
我远赴深邃的大海
There are giants out there in the canyons
峡谷里满是巨怪
And a good captain can't fall asleep
尽职的船长不能睡去
I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
一大堆账单等着清还，孩子们也需要新衣
I know there's fish out there but where God only knows
我知道大海有鱼，但天知道在哪里
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
人们说大海已不像过去那么富饶
But I've got people back on land who count on me
但是我的家人在陆上等着我供养
So if you see my Downeaster Alexa
所以，如果你看到我的Downeaster Alexa号
And if you work with the rod and the reel
如果你在岸边用鱼竿钓鱼
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
请转告我的妻子，我正在Atlantis捕鱼
And I still have my hands on the wheel
我人在手握方向盘航行
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
现在我正在驾驶Downeaster Alexa号
More and more miles from shore every year
每年航海捕鱼都离海岸越来越远
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
因为他们告诉我不能卖条纹鱼
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
而这里有没有剑鱼
I was a bayman like my father was before
我像我的父亲一样是个海湾居民
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
海湾居民连生计都无法维持
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
靠海为生，并没什么前途
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
但是像我这样的海湾居民已无处可去
