The Downeaster "Alexa"
Billy Joel
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the vineyard
But tonight, I am Nantucket bound
We took on diesel back in Montauk, yesterday
Left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Like all the locals here, I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep
I got bills to pay and children who need clothes
I know there's fish out there, but where? God only knows
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
But I got people back on land who count on me
So if you see my Downeaster Alexa
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore every year
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
I was a bay man like my father was before
Can't make a living as a bay man anymore
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
Bueno, estoy en el Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
Y estoy navegando por el sonido de Block Island
I have charted a course to the vineyard
He trazado un curso hacia el viñedo
But tonight, I am Nantucket bound
Pero esta noche, estoy rumbo a Nantucket
We took on diesel back in Montauk, yesterday
Tomamos diesel ayer en Montauk
Left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Salimos esta mañana desde la campana en la bahía de Gardiner
Like all the locals here, I've had to sell my home
Como todos los locales aquí, he tenido que vender mi casa
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
Demasiado orgulloso para irme, trabajé hasta el cansancio
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
Así que pude tener mi Downeaster Alexa
And I go where the ocean is deep
Y voy donde el océano es profundo
There are giants out there in the canyons
Hay gigantes allá afuera en los cañones
And a good captain can't fall asleep
Y un buen capitán no puede quedarse dormido
I got bills to pay and children who need clothes
Tengo facturas que pagar y niños que necesitan ropa
I know there's fish out there, but where? God only knows
Sé que hay peces allá afuera, ¿pero dónde? Solo Dios lo sabe
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
Dicen que estas aguas ya no son lo que solían ser
But I got people back on land who count on me
Pero tengo gente en tierra que depende de mí
So if you see my Downeaster Alexa
Así que si ves mi Downeaster Alexa
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Y si trabajas con la caña y el carrete
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
Dile a mi esposa que estoy pescando en Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel
Y todavía tengo mis manos en el volante
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
Ahora conduzco mi Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore every year
Más y más millas de la costa cada año
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
Desde que me dicen que no puedo vender rayas
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
Y no hay suerte en la pesca de pez espada aquí
I was a bay man like my father was before
Era un hombre de la bahía como lo fue mi padre antes
Can't make a living as a bay man anymore
No puedo ganarme la vida como un hombre de la bahía más
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
No hay mucho futuro para un hombre que trabaja en el mar
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
Pero ya no queda ninguna isla para isleños como yo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sí, sí, sí, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sí, sí, sí, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sí, sí, sí, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sí, sí, sí, oh
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
Bem, eu estou no Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound

Eu tracei um curso para a vinícola

We took on diesel back in Montauk, yesterday

Left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Partimos esta manhã do sino na Baía de Gardiner
Like all the locals here, I've had to sell my home
Como todos os locais aqui, tive que vender minha casa
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
Orgulhoso demais para partir, trabalhei até os ossos
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
Então eu poderia ter meu Downeaster Alexa
And I go where the ocean is deep
E eu vou onde o oceano é profundo
There are giants out there in the canyons
Existem gigantes lá fora nos cânions
And a good captain can't fall asleep

I got bills to pay and children who need clothes
Eu tenho contas para pagar e filhos que precisam de roupas
I know there's fish out there, but where? God only knows
Eu sei que há peixes lá fora, mas onde? Só Deus sabe
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
Dizem que estas águas não são mais o que costumavam ser
But I got people back on land who count on me
Mas eu tenho pessoas em terra que contam comigo
So if you see my Downeaster Alexa
Então, se você ver meu Downeaster Alexa
And if you work with the rod and the reel
E se você trabalha com a vara e o carretel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
Diga à minha esposa que estou pescando em Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel
E ainda tenho minhas mãos no volante
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
Agora eu dirijo meu Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore every year
Mais e mais milhas da costa a cada ano
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
Desde que me disseram que não posso vender stripers
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
E não há sorte na pesca de espadarte aqui
I was a bay man like my father was before
Eu era um homem da baía como meu pai era antes
Can't make a living as a bay man anymore
Não consigo mais ganhar a vida como um homem da baía
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
Não há muito futuro para um homem que trabalha no mar
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
Mas não há mais ilha para ilhéus como eu
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sim, sim, sim, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sim, sim, sim, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sim, sim, sim, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sim, sim, sim, oh

They say these waters aren't what they used to be
Ils disent que ces eaux ne sont plus ce qu'elles étaient
But I got people back on land who count on me
Mais j'ai des gens sur terre qui comptent sur moi

And if you work with the rod and the reel
Et si vous travaillez avec la canne et le moulinet
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
Dites à ma femme que je suis en train de pêcher à Atlantis

Et j'ai toujours mes mains sur le volant
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
Maintenant je conduis mon Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore every year
De plus en plus de miles loin de la côte chaque année
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
Puisqu'ils me disent que je ne peux plus vendre de stripers
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
Et il n'y a pas de chance à la pêche à l'épée ici
I was a bay man like my father was before
J'étais un homme de la baie comme mon père l'était avant
Can't make a living as a bay man anymore
Je ne peux plus gagner ma vie en tant qu'homme de la baie
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'avenir pour un homme qui travaille la mer
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
Mais il ne reste plus d'île pour des insulaires comme moi
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Ouais, ouais, ouais, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Ouais, ouais, ouais, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Ouais, ouais, ouais, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Like all the locals here, I've had to sell my home
Wie alle Einheimischen hier, musste ich mein Zuhause verkaufen
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
Zu stolz zum Gehen, habe ich bis zum Umfallen gearbeitet

Es gibt Riesen da draußen in den Schluchten

And I still have my hands on the wheel
Und ich habe immer noch meine Hände am Steuer
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
Jetzt fahre ich meine Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore every year
Jedes Jahr mehr und mehr Meilen vom Ufer entfernt
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers

And there's no luck in swordfishing here
Und hier gibt es kein Glück beim Schwertfischen
I was a bay man like my father was before
Ich war ein Bucht-Mann, wie es mein Vater vor mir war

Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
Troppo orgoglioso per andarmene, ho lavorato fino allo sfinimento

And I go where the ocean is deep
E vado dove l'oceano è profondo
There are giants out there in the canyons
Ci sono giganti là fuori nei canyon
And a good captain can't fall asleep

I got bills to pay and children who need clothes
Ho bollette da pagare e bambini che hanno bisogno di vestiti
I know there's fish out there, but where? God only knows

They say these waters aren't what they used to be

E se lavori con la canna e il mulinello
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
Dì a mia moglie che sto trainando Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel

Ora guido la mia Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore every year
Sempre più miglia dalla costa ogni anno
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
Da quando mi dicono che non posso vendere stripers

More and more miles from shore every year
Lebih dan lebih banyak mil dari pantai setiap tahun
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
