Out in the cold world and far away from home
在寒冷的世界里远离家乡
Somebody's boy is wandering alone
有些人家的孩子独自流浪
No one to guide him and keep his footsteps right
没有人引导他，让他的脚步保持正确
Somebody's boy is homeless tonight
今晚有人的孩子无家可归
Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair
外面走廊里有一张空椅子
Yonder's the shoes my darling used to wear
那边是我的宝贝以前穿的鞋
Empty the cradle the one that's loved so well
把摇篮里的东西倒空吧，那是我最爱的人
How I miss him there's no tongue can tell
我有多想念他，无法用言语来表达
Bring back my boy my wandering boy
把我的孩子带回来，我流浪的孩子
Far far away wherever he may be
无论他在哪里，都是那么遥远
Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair
告诉他，他母亲双颊和头发都褪色了
At their old home is waiting him there
在他们的老家等着他
Oh could I see him and fold him to my breast
噢，但愿我能看见他，把他抱在怀里
Gladly I'd close my eyes and be at rest
我很乐意闭上眼睛休息
There is no other that's left to give me joy
没有别的东西能给我带来快乐
Bring back my boy my wandering boy
把我的孩子带回来，我流浪的孩子
Well I remember the parting words he said
我还记得他临别时说的话
We'll meet again where no sad tears are shed
我们将在没有悲伤的泪水流下的地方再次相遇
There'll be no goodbyes in that bright land so fair
在这片如此美丽的土地上，再也没有再见
When done with life I'll meet you up there
当生命结束时，我将在那里与你相遇
Bring back my boy my wandering boy
把我的孩子带回来，我流浪的孩子
Far far away wherever he may be
无论他在哪里，都是那么遥远
Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair
告诉他，他母亲双颊和头发都褪色了
At their old home is waiting him there
在他们的老家等着他
