在那杨柳花园旁边

Down by the Salley Gardens

我的爱人曾和我相遇

My love and I did meet;

她走过那杨柳花园

She passed the Salley Gardens

用那双纤纤的玉足

With little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy,

她教我对爱情别太较真

As the leaves grow on the tree;

正如叶子生长在树枝

But I, being young and foolish,

可是我当时年少又愚蠢

With her would not agree.

对她的话不以为意

In a field by the river

在那河边的牧场

My love and I did stand,

我的爱人曾和我驻留

And on my leaning shoulder

在我斜倚的肩膀

She laid her snow-white hand.

抚着她雪白的双手

She bid me take life easy,

As the grass grows on the weirs;

她教我对生活别太当真

But I was young and foolish,

正如草儿生长在河堰

And now am full of tears.

可是我当时年少又愚蠢

而现在我已泪水掩面
