SO FAR FROM THE CLYDE

So Far From The Clyde

 -［Get Lucky］

Mark Knopfler 

People and their Ships...

词：

They had a last supper

The day of the beaching

She's a dead ship sailing

skeleton crew

能干

The galley is empty

厨下

The stove pots are cooling

炉罐

With what's left of a stew

残肴

Her time is approaching

The captain moves over

The hangman steps in… 

刽子

To do what he's paid for

With the wind and the tide

She goes proud ahead steaming

高傲而前

And he drives her hard into the shore

驾驶

So far from the Clyde.

Together we'd ride.

We did ride.

As if to a wave

层浪

From her bows to her rudder

船头到船舵

Bravely she rises

升帆

To meet with the land

邂逅

Under their feet

脚下

They all feel her keel shudder

抖动

A shallow sea washes their hands

浅海

Later the captain

船长

Shakes hands with the hangman

挥手

And climbs slowly down

爬下

To the oily wet ground

油湿

Goes bowed to the car

小车儿来了

That has come here to take him

他离开

Through the graveyard and back to the town

他回镇。

So far from the Clyde.

Together we'd ride.

 We did ride.

They pull out her cables

电缆

And hack off her hatches

舱盖

Too poor to be wasteful

With pity or time

They swarm on her carcass

残骸

With torches and axes

火把和斧头

Like a whale on the bloody shoreline

如鲸

Stripped of her pillars

剥离

Her stays and her stanchions

甲板支柱

When there's only her bones

龙骨

On the wet, poisoned land

湿、毒、土

Steel ropes will drag her

拖走

With winches and engines

辘轳和引擎

'til there's only a stain on the sand

余沙、污

So far from the Clyde.

Together we'd ride. 

We did ride. 

So far from the Clyde.

Together we'd ride. 

We did ride.
