船长水手之歌英语诗歌

Song Of The Master And Boatswain

Wystan Hugh Auden

At Dirty Dicks and Sloppy Joes

We drank our liquor straight,

Some went upstairs with Margery,

And some, alas, with Kate;

And two by two like cat and mouse

The homeless played at keeping house.

There Wealthy Meg, the Sailors Friend,

And Marion, cow-eyed,

Opened their arms to me but I

Refused to step inside;

I was not looking for a cage

In which to mope my old age.

The nightingales are sobbing in

The orchards of our mothers,

And hearts that we broke long ago

Have long been breaking others;

Tears are round, the sea is deep:

Roll them overboard and sleep.

船长水手之歌

威斯坦·休·奥登

乔的铺子邋遢，狄克的小店肮脏，

我们喝酒不挑地方；

挽着玛吉，搂着凯蒂，

大家上楼结对成双；

又像馋猫，又像老鼠，

流浪汉把家的.滋味品尝。

水手之友，阔气的梅格，

眼睛大大，玛莲姑娘，

我拒绝走进她们的房间，

尽管她们向我张开臂膀；

我不想去寻找囚笼，

我不愿老来呆坐那个牢房。

母亲们果园中的夜莺，

一只只全都哀哀歌唱；

我们的心早已破碎，

还总让别人痛断肝肠；

泪珠滚圆，大海深邃，

泪洒水中，进入梦乡。
