歌词
There's a low,green valley, on the old Kentucky shore
有个深深的翠绿山谷在肯塔基河畔
Where I've whiled many happy hours away
我在那儿度过了快乐的时光
A-sitting and a-singing by the little cottage door
在小木屋门旁坐下歌唱
Where lived my darling Nelly Gray
同我亲爱的莉莉格蕾
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away
哦!我可怜的莉莉格蕾，他们已将你夺去
And I'll never see my darling any more;
我再也见不到我亲爱的身影
I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day
我孤坐在河岸上，终日地流泪
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
你已不在老肯塔基河畔
When the moon had climbed the mountain and the stars were shining too
当那月亮挂在山头，星星也在闪烁
Then I'd take my darling Nelly Gray
我带着我亲爱的莉莉格蕾
And we'd float down the river in my little red canoe
我们顺着河水漂流在小红独木舟上
While my banjo sweetly I would play
我的班卓琴曲调多甜美
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away
哦!我可怜的莉莉格蕾，他们已将你夺去
And I'll never see my darling any more;
我再也见不到我亲爱的身影
I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day
我孤坐在河岸上，终日地流泪
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
你已不在老肯塔基河畔
One night I went to see her, but "She's gone!" the neighbors say
有天夜里我去见她，邻居却说：“她已离去！”
The white man have bound her with his chain;
白佬已给她戴上了枷锁
They have taken her to Georgia for to wear her life away
他们把她带到佐治亚，将她生命压榨尽
Now she toils in the cotton and the cane
血汗流在在棉花甘蔗田里面
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away
哦!我可怜的莉莉格蕾，他们已将你夺去
And I'll never see my darling any more;
我再也见不到我亲爱的身影
I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day
我孤坐在河岸上，终日地流泪
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
你已不在老肯塔基河畔
My canoe is under water, and my banjo is unstrung;
我的小舟沉在水底，班卓弦已松
I'm tired of living any more;
我早已厌倦了生命
My eyes shall look downward, and my song shall be unsung
我眼眉深深低垂，歌声不再响起
While I stay on the old Kentucky shore
孑然一身在老肯塔基河畔
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away
哦!我可怜的莉莉格蕾，他们已将你夺去
And I'll never see my darling any more;
我再也见不到我亲爱的身影
I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day
我孤坐在河岸上，终日地流泪
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
你已不在老肯塔基河畔
My eyes are now getting blinded, and I cannot see my way
我眼睛早已黯淡，路已看不见
Hark! there's somebody knocking at the door
啊呀！是谁叩响了门扉
Oh! I hear the angels calling, and I see my Nelly Gray
我听见天使召唤，看到了我的莉莉格蕾
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore
永别了老肯塔基河畔
Oh, my darling Nelly Gray, up in heaven there they say
哦!我亲爱的莉莉格蕾，人们说在天堂上
That they'll never take you from me any more
没有人能够再将你夺走
I'm a-coming-coming-coming, as the angels clear the way
我马上马上就来，天使已把路清开
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore!
永别了老肯塔基河畔！
I'm a-coming-coming-coming, as the angels clear the way
我马上马上就来，天使已把路清开
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore!
永别了老肯塔基河畔！
