《The Wellerman》歌词:
[00:11.96]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:14.27]And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
[00:16.75]The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
[00:19.04]O blow, me bully boys, blow
[00:21.58]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:23.98]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:26.37]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:28.65]We'll take our leave and go
[00:31.11]She'd not been two weeks from shore
[00:33.21]When down on her, a right whale bore
[00:35.93]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:38.21]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:40.71]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:43.05]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:45.49]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:47.78]We'll take our leave and go
[00:50.43]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:52.57]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:55.12]All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[00:57.51]When she dived down low
[00:59.99]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:02.28]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:04.73]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:07.07]We'll take our leave and go
[01:09.63]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:11.97]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:14.46]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:16.75]We'll take our leave and go
[01:19.13]No line was cut, no whale was freed
[01:21.53]And the Captain's mind was not of greed
[01:23.94]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
[01:26.27]She took that ship in tow
[01:28.72]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:31.10]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:33.54]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:35.93]We'll take our leave and go
[01:38.45]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:40.74]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:43.23]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:45.51]We'll take our leave and go

[00:11.96]曾经有艘船破浪出航
[00:14.27]那艘船的名字叫做“比利 · 欧蒂”【Billy of Tea:将茶叶泡在临时水壶里 预示最终要做的 "调羹" 就是鲸鱼被捕获后的宰杀 与后文呼应】
[00:16.75]阴风怒号 樯倾楫摧
[00:19.04]但水手们仍大喊着“尽情吹吧 来得更猛烈些吧”
[00:21.58]Wellerman很快就会到【Wellerman:是指当时澳大利亚海岸捕鲸公司Weller Bros的补给船 因此被捕鲸手称作Wellerman】
[00:23.98]给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒【rum:原产地古巴 是一种以甘蔗糖蜜为原料生产的烈性蒸馏酒】
[00:26.37]等到狩猎结束的那一天【tonguin':屠宰鲸鱼 也就是上岸割下它的舌头 象征此次狩猎结束】
[00:28.65]我们就去休憩
[00:31.11]驶离海岸还不到两周
[00:33.21]一条露脊鲸向船只冲过来【right whale:因为是捕鲸手最常捕杀的猎物而得此名 世界最大动物之一 现因滥捕而濒临绝灭】
[00:35.93]船长召集了所有水手
[00:38.21]立誓定将那条鲸鱼捕获
[00:40.71]Wellerman很快就会到
[00:43.05]给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒
[00:45.49]等到狩猎结束的那一天
[00:47.78]我们就去休憩
[00:50.43]小艇还未放下水时
[00:52.57]鲸鱼扬起尾巴击中了船只
[00:55.12]所有水手都聚集在一起 用鱼叉与其激战
[00:57.51]然后鲸鱼深潜入海底
[00:59.99]Wellerman很快就会到
[01:02.28]给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒
[01:04.73]等到狩猎结束的那一天
[01:07.07]我们就去休憩
[01:09.63]Wellerman很快就会到
[01:11.97]给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒
[01:14.46]等到狩猎结束的那一天
[01:16.75]我们就去休憩
[01:19.13]没有割断绳索 鲸鱼也没有被释放
[01:21.53]并不是船长心性贪婪
[01:23.94]这是属于捕鲸者的信仰
[01:26.27]拖曳那艘船前行
[01:28.72]Wellerman很快就会到
[01:31.10]给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒
[01:33.54]等到狩猎结束的那一天
[01:35.93]我们就去休憩
[01:38.45]Wellerman很快就会到
[01:40.74]给我们带来糖 茶和朗姆酒
[01:43.23]等到狩猎结束的那一天
[01:45.51]我们就去休憩
