Streams Of Nancy

O the Streams Of rovin Nancy
哦，延綿不斷南錫河
divide in three parts
分成了三段支流
Where the young men and maidens
在那裡年輕的男孩和女孩
they meet their sweethearts
會遇上各自的心上人
Its the drinking of good liquor
清澈的河流就像美酒
that makes my heart sing
讓我的心不禁歌唱
And the noise in the valley
而盪在谷間的聲音
make the rocks for to ring.
會讓石頭窸窣奏響
At the top of this mountain
在這山峰的頂端上
my loves castle stands
矗立著我喜歡的城堡
And its overbuilt with ivory
這城堡滿是像牙的潔白
on yonder black sand
置於那片烏黑的沙地
Fine arches, fine porches
有精美的拱門和門廊
like diamonds so bright
就如耀眼的鑽石般
Its a beacon for a sailor
高得像水手的燈塔
on a dark winters night.
在冬天的夜裡堅立
On yonder high mountain
在遠處高高的山上
the wild fowl do fly
野鳥確實會飛翔
And its one in amongst them
而其中一隻在群鳥間
that files very high
飛得異常之高
If I had them in my hands
若我能將它們抓在手上
mere diamonds per grand
我就會論斤賣成鑽石
And soon I would secure her
然後我會再將她救出
by the sleight of my hand.
憑靠我嫻熟的小手段

在這座山的底下
At the base of this mountain
流著條晶瑩剔透的河
a river runs clear
有一艘從印度來的船
And a ship from the Indies
它有一次拋錨在那裡
it once anchored there.
船上有一副飄揚的紅旗
With her red flags a-flying
敲響船上的鼓聲
the beating of her drum
像奏出甜蜜之音的樂器
Sweet instruments of music
聽上去也像是槍聲
and the firin of her gun.
哦，延綿不斷南錫河
O the streams of lovely Nancy
分成了三段支流
divide in three parts
在那裡年輕的男孩和女孩
Where the young men and maidens
會遇上各自的心上人
they meet their sweethearts
清澈的河流就像美酒
Its the drinking of good liquor
讓我的心不禁歌唱
that makes my heart sing
而盪在谷間的聲音
And the noise in the valley
會讓石頭窸窣奏響
make the rocks for to ring.
