Title: Wellerman
There once was a ship that put to sea
“曾经有一艘船出海远航”
“cengjing youyi sou chuan chuhai yuanhang”
And the name of that ship was the Billy o’ Tea
“那艘船的名字是‘比利 奥蒂’号”
“na sou chuan de mingzi shi ‘bi li ao di’ hao”
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
“风刮得很大，船头向下倾”
“feng gua de hen da, chuan tou xiang xia qing”
Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)
“吹吧，我的小霸王，吹吧(嘿!)”
“Chui ba, wo de xiao bawang, chui ba (hei!)”
Soon may the Wellerman come
“韦勒曼马上会来”
“wei lei man mashang hui lai”
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
“给我们带糖，茶和朗姆酒”
“gei women dai tang, cha helang mu jiu”
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
“有一天我们吃完了食物”
“you yitian women chi wanliao shiwu”
We’ll take our leave and go
“我们就带上行李走了”
“women jiu dai shang xingli zoule”
She had not been two weeks from shore
“她离开海岸还不到两个星期”
“ta likai hai’an hai bu dao liang ge xingqi”
When down on her a right whale bore
“当一头露脊鲸冲到她身上时”
“dang yitou lu ji jing chong dao ta shenshang shi”
The captain called all hands and swore
“船长召集了所有人来宣誓”
“chuanzhang zhaojile suoyou ren lai xuanshi”
He’d take that whale in tow (Hah!)
“他要把那条鲸鱼拖在后面(哈!)”
“Ta yao ba na tiao jingyu tuo zai houmian (ha!)”
Soon may the Wellerman come
“韦勒曼马上会来”
“wei lei man mashang hui lai”
To bring us sugar and tеa and rum
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
“给我们带糖，茶和朗姆酒”
“gei women dai tang, cha helang mu jiu”
One day, when the tonguin’ is donе
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
“有一天我们吃完了食物”
“you yitian women chi wanliao shiwu”
We’ll take our leave and go
“我们就带上行李走了”

Before the boat had hit the water
“在船落水之前”
“zai chuan luoshui zhiqian”
The whale’s tail came up and caught her
“鲸鱼的尾巴抓住了她”
“jingyu de weiba zhua zhule ta”
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
“所有的手都放在一边拿着鱼叉和她战斗”
“suoyou de shou dou fang zai yibian nazhe yu cha he ta zhandou”
When she dived down below (Huh!)
“她潜入水底时(嘿!)”
“Ta qianru shuidi shi (hei!)”

No line was cut, no whale was freed;
“绳索没有被割断，鲸鱼也没有被释放;”
“shengsuo meiyou bei geduan, jingyu ye meiyou bei shifang;”
The Captain’s mind was not on greed
“船长的心思并不贪婪”
“chuanzhang de xinsi bing bu tanlan”
But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed;
“但他属于一位捕鲸人”
“dan ta shuyu yi wei bu jing ren”

For forty days, or even more
“40天，甚至更长时间”
“40 tian, shenzhi geng chang shijian”
The line went slack, then tight once more
“钓索开始松弛，随后又绷紧了”
“diao suo kaishi songchi, suihou you beng jinle”
All boats were lost, there were only four
“所有的船都失踪了，只有四艘船幸存下来”
“suoyou de chuan dou shizongle, zhiyou si sou chuan xingcun xialai”
But still that whale did go
“但那头鲸鱼还是游走了”
“dan na tou jingyu haishi you zoule”
Soon may the Wellerman come

As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on;
“据我所知，战斗还在继续;”
“ju wo suo zhi, zhandou hai zai jixu;”
The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone
“绳索没有被割断，鲸鱼也没有被释放;”
“shengsuo meiyou bei geduan, jingyu ye meiyou bei shifang;”
