Anggur itu diminum, kapal itu tenggelam,
The shot it was dead, all the sorrows were drowned.
Tembakan itu telah mati, semua duka ditenggelamkan.
The birds they were clouds, the brides and the shrouds
Burung-burung itu adalah awan, pengantin wanita dan kafan
And as we drew south the mist it came down.
Dan saat kami menarik ke selatan, kabut itu turun.
The wooded ravine to the wandering stream,
Jurang berhutan menuju arus yang mengembara,
The serpent he moved, but no-one would say.
Si ular ia pindah, tapi tidak ada yang mau mengatakannya.
The depths of the waters, the bridge which distraught us
Kedalaman air, jembatan yang membuat kita putus asa
And brought to me thoughts of the ill-fated day.
Dan membawa saya pikiran tentang hari naas itu.
The temples were filled with the strangest of creatures
Kuil-kuil itu dipenuhi makhluk aneh
One played it by ear on the banks of the sea.
Seseorang memainkannya dengan telinga di tepian laut.
That one was found but the others they went under.
Yang itu ditemukan tapi yang lain mereka masuk.
Oh the tears which are shed, they won't come from me.
Oh air mata yang ditumpahkan, mereka tidak akan datang dariku.
The methods of madness, the pathos and the sadness,
Metode kegilaan, pathos dan kesedihan,
God help you all, the insane and wise.
Tuhan tolong kalian semua, yang gila dan bijak.
The black and the white, the darkness of the night,
Hitam dan putih, kegelapan malam,
I see only smoke from the chimneys arise.
Saya hanya melihat asap dari cerobong asap yang timbul.
The pilot he flew all across the sky and woke me.
Pilot dia terbang melintasi langit dan membangunkan saya.
He flew solo on the mercury sea.
Dia terbang solo di laut merkuri.
The dream it came back, all about the tall brown people,
Mimpi itu kembali, semua tentang orang-orang cokelat tinggi,
The sacred young herd on the phosphorus sand.
Kawanan muda suci di atas pasir fosfor.
