[00:00.000] 作曲 : Arthur Sullivan
[00:06.892]Never mind the why and wherefore,
[00:08.487]Love can level ranks, and therefore,
[00:10.363]Though his lordship's station's mighty,
[00:11.957]Though stupendous be his brain,
[00:13.813]Though her tastes are mean and flighty
[00:15.670]And her fortune poor and plain,
[00:19.383]Ring the merry bells on board-ship,
[00:20.982]Rend the air with warbling wild,
[00:22.837]For the union of his/my lordship
[00:24.693]With a humble captain's child!
[00:27.085]For a humble captain's daughter
[00:28.954]For a gallant captain's daughter
[00:30.812]And a lord who rules the water
[00:32.668]And a tar who ploughs the water!
[00:35.600]Let the air with joy be laden,
[00:37.452]Rend with songs the air above,
[00:39.066]For the union of a maiden
[00:40.663]With the man who owns her love!
[00:49.178]Never mind the why and wherefore,
[00:50.770]Love can level ranks, and therefore,
[00:52.629]Though your nautical relation
[00:54.237]In my set could scarcely pass,
[00:56.086]Though you occupy a station
[00:57.423]In the lower middle class
[01:01.939]Ring the merry bells on board-ship,
[01:03.798]Rend the air with warbling wild,
[01:05.397]For the union of his/my lordship
[01:07.251]With a humble captain's child!
[01:09.633]For a humble captain's daughter
[01:11.490]For a gallant captain's daughter
[01:13.094]And a lord who rules the water
[01:14.955]And a tar who ploughs the water!
[01:18.136]Let the air with joy be laden,
[01:20.001]Rend with songs the air above,
[01:21.858]For the union of a maiden
[01:23.195]With the man who owns her love!
[01:31.718]Never mind the why and wherefore,
[01:33.578]Love can level ranks, and therefore
[01:35.173]I admit the jurisdiction;
[01:36.759]Ably have you played your part;
[01:38.893]You have carried firm conviction
[01:40.764]To my hesitating heart.
[01:44.488]Ring the merry bells on board-ship,
[01:46.335]Rend the air with warbling wild,
[01:48.204]For the union of his/my lordship
[01:49.793]With a humble captain's child!
[01:52.187]For a humble captain's daughter
[01:54.318]For a gallant captain's daughter
[01:56.166]And a lord who rules the water
[01:58.022]And a tar who ploughs the water!
[02:01.215]Let the air with joy be laden.
[02:02.825]Ring the merry bells on board-ship,
[02:04.683]For the union of a maiden
[02:06.288]For her union with his lordship.
[02:08.136]Rend with songs the air above,
[02:09.744]For the man who owns her love!
[02:11.586]Rend with songs the air above,
[02:13.980]For the man who owns her love!
