Fare thee well, my dearest love!
I sail away
And know not when I shall see thee more.
Across the ocean

Away from all my friends I go,
And know not whether I shall return again.
From my homeland I am sailing
Far across the ocean.
I must leave you, my dear one,
I must sail out upon the sea.

If I should die, my dearest darling,
Do not mourn for me.
Oh do not weep, my dear one!
If I should die,
A little flow’r plant in memory.
Oh tend it well, my darling,
And when it blooms in summer think of me
And cast a blossom upon the sea.

再會吧，我的摯愛！
我將出航，
不知何日再能相會
航越海洋。

遠離友朋，我航越海洋，
不知是否再能回鄉。
我自家鄉出航，
遠遠橫越海洋。
親愛的人, 我必須離去，
必須航向遠方。

若我死去，我的親親愛人
請莫為我哀悽。
哦！親愛的人，請別哭泣。

若我死去，
請為我栽一株小花。
細心照料，我的愛人，
夏日花開請憶起我，
將一朵花兒投向海洋。
