英文歌曲：加勒比海盗4 美人鱼勾魂曲My Jolly Sailor Bold

My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain¹ all glittering gold,
There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.

Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea.


My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.

My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold


Upon one summer’s morning, I carefully did stray,
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay,
Conversing² with a bouncing lass, who seem’d to be in pain,
Saying, William, when you go, I fear you will ne’er return again.

His hair it does in ringlets hang, his eyes as black as soles,
My happiness attend him wherever he goes,
From Tower Hill, down to Blackwall, I will wander, weep and moan,
All for my jolly sailor bold, until he does return.

My father is a merchant — the truth I will now tell,
And in great London City in opulence³ doth dwell,
His fortune doth exceed ?300,000 in gold,
And he frowns upon his daughter, ‘cause she loves a sailor bold.

A fig⁴ for his riches, his merchandize, and gold,
True love is grafted⁵ in my heart; give me my sailor bold:
Should he return in poverty, from o’er the ocean far,
To my tender bosom⁶, I’ll fondly press my jolly tar⁷.

My sailor is as smiling as the pleasant month of May,
And oft we have wandered through Ratcliffe Highway,
Where many a pretty blooming girl we happy did behold⁸,
Reclining on the bosom of her jolly sailor bold.

Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea,
While up aloft, in storm or gale⁹, from me his absence mourn,
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he home will safe return.

My name it is Maria, a merchant’s daughter fair,
And I have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year,
My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.
