Down by the salley gardens

在莎莉花园旁

My love and I did meet

我与爱人曾相遇

She passed the salley gardens

她走过莎莉花园

With little snow-white feet

踏着雪白的小脚

She bid me take love easy

她劝我把爱情看轻些

As the leaves grow on the tree

像树上的叶子自然生长

But I, being young and foolish

可那时我年轻又愚笨

With her did not agree

没有听从她的话

In a field by the river

在河边的一片田野里

My love and I did stand

我与爱人并肩而立

And on my leaning shoulder

她把手轻轻放在

She laid her snow-white hand

我倾斜的肩头上

She bid me take life easy

她劝我把人生看淡些

As the grass grows on the weirs

像堰边青草自然生长

But I was young and foolish

可那时我年轻又愚笨

And now am full of tears

如今只剩满心泪水
