When the sun rises over the mountains

And my tears turn the colour of gold

Not even the blue of the ocean

Can compare to the shade of my soul

Every day, every night, I am crying

For my loved one has gone away

To faraway lands for the money

Had he stayed we might all have died
如果他留下来，我们只能迎接死亡
Many days, many weeks, many months now
如今，每日每月，每个礼拜
And I haven't heard from him not a word
我没有他的信息，没有只言片语
The waves toss me back many rumors

That my husband won't likely be back

Then one morning in the dead of winter
在一个凛冬的早晨
Wedged in the door a tattered old letter
门口塞进来一封破旧的书信
It must have been left by a sailor

Who did good on a promise to honour

dearest wife dearest son dearest daughter

I am writing with the shakiest of hands
我这双颤抖的手写下这封信
If you ever get this letter
如果你收到了这封信
Then I never have made it to land
那么我将永远也不会再着陆
When the sun rises over the mountains
当太阳从群山中升起
And my tears turn the colour of gold
我的泪水被染成了金色
Not even the blue of the ocean
甚至连大海的忧郁
Can compare to the shade of my soul

Not even the blue of the ocean
甚至连大海的忧郁
Can compare to the shade of my soul
也不能比拟我灵魂的阴影
