Lyrics by:Tom Lewis
Composed by:Tom Lewis
Well me father often told me when I was just a lad
父亲常在我年少时这样告诫我
A sailor's life is very hard the food is always bad
水手生涯艰苦卓绝 粗茶淡饭度日如年
But now I've joined the navy I'm aboard a man-o-war
而今我加入海军 登上威武战舰
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
却发现现代水手已不复当年模样
Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
不必费力拉绳索 无需冒险攀桅杆
And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
若遇古老帆船 或许就是最后一面
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
只需备好便装 准备随时上岸
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
如今的水手 再不是从前的水手
Well the killick of our mess he says we had it soft
我们舱室的老水手说我们过得太安逸
It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft
在他那个年代我们还得爬上桅杆去
We like our bunks and sleeping bags but what's a hammock for
我们喜欢床铺和睡袋 但吊床又有何用
Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor
悬在舱顶摇晃 或是摊在地板上
Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
不必费力拉绳索 无需冒险攀桅杆
And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
若遇古老帆船 或许就是最后一面
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
只需备好便装 准备随时上岸
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
如今的水手 再不是从前的水手
They gave us an engine that first went up and down
最初他们给了我们上下运转的引擎
And then with more technology the engine went around
随着技术进步 引擎开始循环转动
We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for
我们熟悉蒸汽与柴油 但主帆桁有何用
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore
司炉工不再需要挥舞铁铲劳作
Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
不必费力拉绳索 无需冒险攀桅杆
And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
若遇古老帆船 或许就是最后一面
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
只需备好便装 准备随时上岸
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
如今的水手 再不是从前的水手
Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
不必费力拉绳索 无需冒险攀桅杆
And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
若遇古老帆船 或许就是最后一面
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
只需备好便装 准备随时上岸
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
如今的水手 再不是从前的水手
Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast
不必费力拉绳索 无需冒险攀桅杆
And if you see a sailing ship it might be your last
若遇古老帆船 或许就是最后一面
Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore
只需备好便装 准备随时上岸
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
如今的水手 再不是从前的水手
