Down by the Salley Gardens

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet
在莎莉花園深處，吾愛與我曾經相遇。
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet
她雪花般的纖足，向著花園盡頭走去。
she bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
她囑我愛得簡單，如枝上萌發的新綠。
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree
但當年年少無知，不願接受她的心語。

在遠方河畔曠野，吾愛與我並肩佇立。
In a field by the river my love and I did stand
在我微傾的肩上，她搭起純白的手臂。
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snows-white hand
她囑我活得淡然，像青草滋長於岸堤。
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
但當年年少無知，如今卻已淚滿衣裳 。
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears
在莎莉花園深處，吾愛與我曾經相遇。

她雪花般的纖足，向著花園盡頭走去。
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet
她囑我愛得簡單，如枝上萌發的新綠。
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet
但當年年少無知，不願接受她的心語。
she bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree
