The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
传说自齐佩瓦族流传至今
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
关于那片名为吉奇古米的大湖
The lake it is said never gives up her dead
据说这湖泊从不归还逝者
When the skies of November turn gloomy
当十一月的天空阴霾密布
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
装载着两万六千吨铁矿石
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
远超埃德蒙·菲茨杰拉德号空载重量
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
这艘忠实的船成了待宰羔羊
When the gales of November came early
当十一月的狂风提前来袭
The ship was the pride of the American side
这艘船曾是美利坚的骄傲
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
刚从威斯康辛的工厂返航
As the big freighters go it was bigger than most
在众多货轮中它格外雄伟
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
载着经验丰富的船长与水手
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
刚与钢铁公司完成交易
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
满载货物驶向克利夫兰港
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
深夜船钟突然敲响时
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
可是预兆北风的呼啸?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
电线在风中发出不祥的呜咽
And a wave broke over the railin'
巨浪冲垮了船舷栏杆
And every man knew as the captain did too
每个船员都和船长一样明白
'Twas the witch of November come stealin'
这是十一月女巫在暗中作祟
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
黎明迟迟未至 早餐被迫延后
When the gales of November came slashin'
当十一月的狂风肆虐袭来
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
午后时分冻雨倾盆
In the face of a hurricane west wind
直面飓风般的西风
When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'
晚餐时分 老厨师登上甲板说道
"Fellas it's too rough to feed ya"
"伙计们 风浪太大没法开饭"
At seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in he said
晚上七点 主舱口坍塌时他说
"Fellas it's been good to know ya"
"能认识你们是我的荣幸"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
船长紧急报告 海水正在涌入
And the good ship and crew was in peril
这艘好船和船员危在旦夕
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
当夜稍晚 他的灯光消失不见
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
埃德蒙·菲茨杰拉德号就此沉没
Does anyone know where the love of God goes
可有人知晓 神的慈爱去往何方
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
当惊涛将分秒拉长成时光
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
搜救者都说若再航行十五海里
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
他们本可抵达白鱼湾的避风港
They might have split up or they might have capsized
或许船体断裂 或许巨浪倾覆
They may have broke deep and took water
或许深水压裂了船舱
And all that remains is the faces and the names
唯留那些面容与姓名永驻
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
妻子儿女们永恒的哀伤
Lake Huron rolls Superior sings
休伦湖翻涌 苏必利尔湖低吟
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
在她冰水筑就的宫殿里
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
古老的密歇根湖蒸腾如少年梦境
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
岛屿与海湾属于渔猎之人
And farther below Lake Ontario
更远处的安大略湖
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
接纳伊利湖的馈赠
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
钢铁船只如常航行 水手们都知晓
With the gales of November remembered
带着十一月风暴的记忆
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
底特律一座霉味弥漫的老旧大厅里
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
航海者大教堂内
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
教堂钟声敲响 整整二十九下
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
为埃德蒙·菲茨杰拉德号每位船员
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
传说自齐佩瓦族流传至今
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
关于他们称为吉奇加米的巨湖
Superior they said never gives up her dead
苏必利尔湖从不归还逝者
When the gales of November come early
当十一月的狂风提前来袭
