歌词
"Well met, well met, my own true love,
再见 再见 我的真爱
Well met, well met," cried he.
再见 再见 他哭道
"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
我才从死海上归来
All for the love of thee."
全是因为我对你的爱
我本可与国王的爱女成婚
"I could have married the King's daughter dear,
她本会嫁给我
She would have married me.
但我却放弃了她的金冠
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
全是因为我对你的爱
All for the love of thee."
假如你娶了国王的爱女
你一定会被谴责的
"Well, if you could have married the King's daughter dear,
因为我已与一位木匠成婚
I'm sure you are to blame,
并且发现他是一位好小伙
For I am married to a house carpenter,
你愿意放弃你的木匠
And find him a nice young man."
并同我离去吗
我会带你去那绿草如茵之地
"Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
去那死海岸边
And go along with me?
假如我放弃了我的木匠
I'll take you to where the grass grows green,
并随你离去
To the banks of the salt, salt sea."
你有什么可以供养我
并让我远离贫困
"Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
六艘船 六艘船都已在海上
And go along with thee,
还有第七艘在陆地上
What have you got to maintain me on
全部一百一十位勇敢的水手
And keep me from poverty?"
将听从你的指令
她抱起她的小宝宝
"Six ships, six ships all out on the sea,
吻了他三遍
Seven more upon dry land,
说道 在这和我的木匠待在一起
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
好好地陪伴他
Will be at your command."
然后她穿上她的华服
如此光彩夺目
She picked up her own wee babe,
当她步行于路上时
Kisses gave him three,
她如同金子般闪闪发光
Said "Stay right here with my house carpenter
他们并没有离去 只不过离开了大约两周
And keep him good company."
我清楚不是三周
当这位美丽的小姐开始哭泣
Then she putted on her rich attire,
她哭得最为悲痛
So glorious to behold.
你为何哭泣 我美丽的少女
And as she trod along her way,
为了你的好商店吗
She shown like the glittering gold.
还是为了你再也不见的
木匠而哭泣
Well, they'd not been gone but about two weeks,
我并不是为了我的木匠而哭泣
I know it was not three.
也不是为了什么好商店
When this fair lady began to weep,
我是为了我再也见不到的
She wept most bitterly.
自己的小宝宝而哭
他们并未离去 只是离开了大约三周
"Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid,
我确定不是四周
Weep it for your golden store?
我们堂皇的大船断裂然后沉没
Or do you weep for your house carpenter
再也不会浮起
Who never you shall see anymore?"
我们堂皇的大船旋转了一周
她旋转了两周
"I do not weep for my house carpenter
我们堂皇的大船旋转了三周
Or for any golden store.
然后沉入海底
I do weep for my own wee babe,
那些小山是什么 我的爱人
Who never I shall see anymore."
如此美丽又高耸
那些是天堂的小山 我的爱人
Well, they'd not been gone but about three weeks,
但不是你和我的
I'm sure it was not four.
那些小丘又是什么 我的爱人
Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank,
如此阴暗又低矮
Never to rise anymore.
那些是地狱的小丘 我的爱人
是你我的归宿
One time around spun our gallant ship,
Two times around spun she,
Three times around spun our gallant ship
And sank to the bottom of the sea.
"What hills, what hills are those, my love,
That rise so fair and high?"
"Those are the hills of heaven, my love,
But not for you and I."
"And what hills, what hills are those, my love,
Those hills so dark and low?"
"Those are the hills of hell, my love,
Where you and I must go."
