The boat is lowered, the boatmen row, And to the Inchcape Rock they go; Sir Ralph bent over from the boat, And he cut the bell from the Inchcape float.

小船放下，船员摇桨，他们到了印奇开普暗礁；海盗拉尔夫从船上弯腰，从印奇开普浮标把钟砍掉。

Without either sign or sound of their shock, The waves flowed over the Inchcape Rock; So little they rose, so little they fell, They did not move the Inchcape Bell.

波涛无声无息地流淌，流淌过印奇开普暗礁，波浪缓缓起伏，印奇开普钟不摇不晃。

They hear no sound, the swell is strong; Though the wind hath fallen, they drift along, Till the vessel strikes with a shivering shock: Cried they, It is the Inchcape Rock!

他们什么也听不到，波浪汹涌，尽管风已平息，他们的船依旧漂浮着，最后船撞上暗礁猛地震动，他们喊：“这里是印奇开普暗礁！”
