Oh I'm sailing away

我要离开了

My own true love

我的爱人

I'm sailing away in the morning

清早我将远航

Is there something I can send you from across the sea

有没有什么我能送给你的

From the place where I'll be landing

远隔重洋 在海的那边

There's nothing you can send me

你不必送我什么

My own true love

我的恋人

There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning

我并不想要什么

Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled

只想让你漂洋过海

From across that lonesome ocean

安然无恙地来到我身边

Oh but I just thought you might want something fine

我以为你会想要些珍贵的东西

Maybe silver or of golden

或金或银

Either from the mountains of Madrid

亦或是马德里山上的珍宝

Or from the coast of Barcelona

还是那巴塞罗那海岸的宝藏

If I had the stars of the darkest night

若我有夜空中最亮的那颗星

And the diamonds from the deepest ocean

若我有深海中耀眼的钻石

I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss

我宁愿舍弃它们 换你的一个吻

That's all I wish to be owning

那是我唯一想要的

Oh I might be gone a long ol' time

我也许要离开很久

And it's only that I'm asking

我只想问

Is there something I can send you to remember me by

有没有什么我能送给你 让你依然想起我

To make your time more easy passing

让你的日子不那么孤单

How can how can you ask me again

你怎能再一次这样问我

Well it only brings me sorrow

这只会让我更悲伤

Oh the same thing I would want today

今天我想要的

I would want again tomorrow

明天依然如此 不曾改变

Oh I got a letter on a lonesome day

那天我收到一封信

It was from his ship a-sailing

是他在船上写的

Saying I don't know when I'll be coming back again

信中说 我不知何时会回来

It depends on how I'm feeling

随我的感觉而定

If you my love must think that away

我的恋人 如果你真这么想

I'm sure your mind is a-roaming

你的内心还不坚定

I'm sure your thoughts are not with me

你的心思也不在我身上

But with the country where you're going

而在你想去的地方

So take heed take heed of the western wind

亲爱的 千万要当心外面的世界

Take heed of stormy weather

当心外面的风雨

And yes there is something you can send back to me

在你离开的时候
