在前面的柳园，

Down by the Salley Gardens

我与爱人相会；

My love and I did meet;

她从那里走过，

She passed the Salley Gardens

两足娇小，雪白生辉。

With little snow-white feet.

她嘱我轻轻松松相爱，

She bid me take love easy,

像树枝上新叶吐翠；

As the leaves grow on the tree;

她的话我没有放在心上，

But I, being young and foolish,

只因太过年轻愚昧。

With her would not agree.

站在河边的一片田野，

In a field by the river

我与爱人互相面对，

My love and I did stand,

她搭着我斜依的肩膀，

And on my leaning shoulder

雪白的纤手令人沉醉。

She laid her snow-white hand.

她嘱我平平静静生活，

She bid me take life easy,

像河堰上的青草把季节跟随。

As the grass grows on the weirs;

只因太过年轻愚昧，

But I was young and foolish,

到如今只落得满面泪水。

And now am full of tears.
