When you’re sailing in strange harbours,

Cutty Sark,

With the lines man calling soundings by the mark

Do you hear my faint ahoy?

As you’re picking up the buoy,

I once sailed as you do now,

 

Bending mast and dipping prow Cutty Sark,

I once knew the winds wild way,

And the salt Pacific spray,

And the deep sea’s sound and sway

 

Oh the black night long ago

Far from home and Plymouth hoe

When we drove for Sydney Head,

And took the Gap instead,

Oh, we took the Gap instead.

 

In fathoms deeper far

Than deep sea fishes are,

Salute the lost Dun-bar,

Do you hear my faint ahoy.

 

當你在陌生的港口航行時，

卡蒂薩克號，

測量水深的人依據標記喊出水深度

你聽到我微弱叫著啊嗬？

當你拿起浮標時，

我曾經像你現在一樣航行在海上，

 

彎曲的桅杆和浸漬的船頭，卡蒂薩克號，

我曾經知道狂風，

和鹹太平洋的浪花，

而深海的聲音和搖擺

 

哦，很久以前的黑夜

遠離家鄉和普利茅斯港

當我們航向雪梨海角，

我們取而代之走斷魂谷，

哦，我們取而代之走斷魂谷。

 

在比噚更遠的深處

比深海更深，魚類，

向失落的鄧巴鎮致敬，

你聽到我微弱叫著啊嗬。
