I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Aku merebut air, melawan air Neptunus
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Berlayar melalui penderitaan para perampok kehidupan
Unrepenting, often empty
Unrepenting, sering kosong
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut

Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Tertangkap seperti tikus selokan saja tapi saya berlayar
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Dibeli seperti roti, tapi aku menangis

Seldom stumble, never crumble
Jarang tersandung, tidak pernah hancur
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Cobalah untuk jatuh, hidup bergemuruh
Feel the stinging I've been given
Merasa menyengat aku sudah diberikan
Never ending, unrelenting
Tidak pernah berakhir, tak henti-hentinya
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Duka patah hati, selalu takut
Never caring, persevering
Jangan pernah peduli, tekun
Sail on, sail on, sailor
Berlayar, berlayar, pelaut

I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Aku bekerja di seaways, lautan menyapu badai
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Anak perempuan terdampar terdampar di perairan jahat
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Tidak bersemangat, basah kuyup dan lelah
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Meratap, meratap, pelaut

Always needing, even bleeding
Selalu membutuhkan, bahkan berdarah
Never feeding all my feelings
Jangan pernah memberi makan semua perasaan saya
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
Sialan guntur, harus aku salahkan
There's no wonder all I'm under
Tidak mengherankan semua aku di bawah
Stop the crying and the lying
Hentikan tangisan dan kebohongan
And the sighing and my dying
Dan desahan dan kematianku

Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
Sail on, sail on sailor
Berlayar, berlayar di pelaut
