歌词
某天夜里，我独自卧床，半梦半醒
One night as I lay slumbering in my silent bed alone
我脑海中产生了一些大胆的念头，想要远游
Some reckless thoughts came to my mind which caused me for to roam
离开我的祖国，我爱的少女
To leave my native country and the wee girl I do adore
所以我决定去旅行，探索未知的国度
So I thought it fit to take a trip, strange lands for to explore
出发的前一天晚上，我去了布洛卡村
我在路上遇到了我的心上人，她双眼含泪
Now the night before I went away I was walking over Brockagh Hill
“留下来吧，亲爱的约翰，”她说，“别离开我”
When I met my darling on the road and her eyes with tears did fill
“当你在海上漂泊，没人会来安慰我”
"Stay you at home dear John" she said "and do not go away
我牵起她白皙的手，将她紧紧抱住
For I'll have none to comfort me when you are on the sea"
我说，“再见了亲爱的，我的船已在贝尔法斯特等我”
你若忠贞不渝，我定不离不弃
Well I took her by the lily white hand and I held her hard and fast
于是我们亲吻道别，我离开了我的心上人
Saying "adieu to you my darling for my ship it lies in Belfast
我们到达格里诺克时，岸上的人围了过来
But if you prove loyal sure I'll prove true for you know that I'm well inclined"
他们说我是个放荡浪子 ，来打扰他们收庄稼
So we kissed goodbye and parted and I left my girl behind
他们让我回去，再也别来这里
所以我一刻也没耽误，驶向可爱的爱尔兰绿岛
And when we landed in Greenock sure the people all gathered around
当玛丽听说约翰回来了，她心花怒放
And they said I was a rakish lad come to put their harvest down
“投入我的怀抱吧”，她喊道，“我亲爱的小伙子”
They told me to return again and never more be seen
“投入我的怀抱吧”，她喊道，“我想你想得好苦好久”
So without delay I sailed away for Ireland's lovely green
人们都在说，我们现在就要举行婚礼
人们都在说
Sure when Mary heard that John was home her heart did beat with joy
人们都在说
Saying "come into my arms" she cried "you're my darling lovely boy"
人们都在说
Saying "come into my arms" she cried "of you I have thought great and long
And let them all say as they will, our wedding will now go on
And let them all say as they as they will
And let them all say as they as they will
And let them all say as they as they will
