Dear Companion (Acappella)

once did I have a dear companion，

曾经我有一个挚爱

indeed I thought his love my own，

事实上我认为他是爱我的

until a black-eyed girl betrayed me，

直到一个黑色眼眸的女孩毁掉了这一切

and then he cared no more for me，

而他也不再对我有任何关爱

just go and leave me if you wish to，

走吧走吧都走吧只要你愿意

it will never trouble me，

那对我不会有任何困扰

for in your heart you love another，

你心里装着另一个人的话

and in my grave I'd rather be，

我宁愿躲进坟墓

last night you were so sweetly sleeping，

昨夜梦到你那么香甜的睡着

dreaming such sweet rapport

是这样的甜蜜而幸福

while me a poor girl lay broken hearted，

然而实际上我只是一个躺在一颗破碎的心中小女孩

listening to the wind that blows，

听寒风呼啸过窗台

when I see your baby laughing，

当我听到你的孩子开心的笑

it makes me think of your sweet face，

我就想起你那甜蜜的笑容

but when I see your baby crying，

但当我看到你的孩子哭泣

it makes me think of my disgrace，

我就回忆起我曾经的耻辱

I wish I was some little sparrow，

我多希望我是一只只小小的麻雀

and I had wings and I could fly，

有一双翅膀可以飞翔在蓝天

I'd fly away to my own true lover，

飞到真正属于我的真爱所在的地方

and when he called it and I'll deny，

当他呼唤的时候我便停在他身旁

but I ain't no little sparrow，

但我已不会是一只麻雀

I ain't got wings and I can't fly，

我不会再有能飞上蓝天的翅膀

so I'll sit right here in grief and sorrow，

我只能在原地悲伤不已无法自拔

I'll sit right here until I die，

我只能在原地停留至死

I'll go down to yonder's river，

我会去到河的那一端

I'll spend my months my weeks my years，

我愿意花费数月数年乃至一辈子的时间

and I'll eat nothing but green willow，

我只需要吃绿柳

and I'll drink nothing but my tears。

我只需要喝眼泪
