Written by:Traditional
An earthly nurse sits and sings
一位凡间护士坐着轻吟
And aye she sings a lily wean
她低唱着摇篮曲抚慰婴孩
And little ken I my bairn's father
我全然不知孩子的父亲是谁
Far less the land
更不晓得
Where he dwells in
他栖居何方
For he's come one night to her bed's foot
他曾于深夜来到她床畔
And a grumly guest I'm sure was he
定是个阴郁的不速之客
Saying here am I thy Bairn's father
宣称"我便是这孩子的父亲"
Although I be not comely
虽我容貌粗陋不堪
I am a man upon the land
陆上行走是凡人模样
I am a silkie on the sea
海中遨游化海豹之形
And when I'm far and far from land
当远离尘世喧嚣时
My home it is in sule skerrie
苏尔礁石是我故乡
And he has ta'en a purse of gold
他取出一袋黄金
And he had placed it upon her knee
轻轻放在她膝上
Saying give to me my little young son
说道"将幼子归还于我"
And take thee up thy nurse's fee
我会支付你哺育的酬劳
And it shall come to pass on a summer's day
待到夏日来临之时
When the sun shine's bright on every stane
当阳光洒满每块礁石
I'll come and fetch my little young son
我将前来带走我的幼子
And teach him how to swim the faem
教他在浪花中遨游
And ye shall marry a gunner bold
而你终将嫁给勇敢的枪手
And a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be
他定会成为最出色的射手
And the very first shot that ever he shoots
他扣动扳机射出的第一发子弹
Will kill both my young son and me
将同时夺走我幼子与我的性命
