The Text

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
আমি অবশ্যই আবারও সমুদ্রে যাব, নিঃসঙ্গ সমুদ্রে এবং আকাশে,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
এবং আমি যা চাই তা হ’ল একটি লম্বা জাহাজ এবং তাকে চালিত করার জন্য একটি তারা;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
এবং চাকার লাথি এবং বাতাসের গান এবং সাদা পালের কাঁপুনি,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
এবং সমুদ্রের মুখের উপর ধূসর কুয়াশা, এবং একটি ধূসর ভোর।

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
চলমান জোয়ারের ডাকের জন্য আমাকে অবশ্যই আবার সমুদ্রের দিকে নেমে যেতে হবে
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
একটি বন্য আহ্বান এবং একটি পরিষ্কার আহ্বান যা অস্বীকার করা যায় না;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
এবং আমি যা চাই তা হ’ল সাদা মেঘ উড়ে বেড়ানো একটা ঝড়ো দিন,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
এবং নিক্ষিপ্ত ঝাপটা এবং প্রস্ফুটিত ফেনা, এবং শঙ্খচিল এর ক্রন্দন।

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
আমি অবশ্যই আবারও সমুদ্রে যাব, ভবঘুরে যাযাবর জীবনে,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
শঙ্খচিল জাতীয় সামুদ্রিক পাখির পথে এবং তিমির পথে যেখানে বাতাস ঘষে ধারালো করা ছুরির মতো;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
এবং আমি যা চাই তা হ’ল হাস্যময় সহকর্মী জলদস্যুর (উল্লসিত নাবিকের) কাছ থেকে একটি মজার গল্প,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
এবং শান্ত ঘুম এবং একটি মিষ্টি স্বপ্ন যখন দীর্ঘ কৌশল (যাত্রা) শেষ হবে।
