Song Of The Master And Boatswain

Wystan Hugh Auden

At Dirty Dick's and Sloppy Joe's

We drank our liquor straight

Some went upstairs with Margery

And some

alas

with Kate;

And o by o like cat and mouse

The homeless played at keeping house.

There Wealthy Meg

the Sailor's 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。
