歌词
green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew,
月桂树郁郁葱葱,露珠轻轻滴落
sorry was i love when parting from you,
与你分离我是多么遗憾
but at our next meeting i hope you'll prove true,
下次相逢你会看到我的爱是真心
and we'll join the laurel and the violet so blue.
我们会相会在月桂树下,看美妙的紫罗兰
i once had a sweetheart but now i have none,
我曾经有爱人,如今却身边空空
he's gone and he's left me to weep and to mourn,
他离开了我,留我哀伤哭泣
he's gone and he's left me for other to see,
他离开了我,让我另觅他人
i'll soon find another far better than he.
很快我就会找到更英俊的爱人
he passes my window both early and late,
他早晚经过我的帷窗
and the looks that he gives me would make my heart break,
看向我的眼神多么让我心碎
the looks that he gives me a thousand would kill,
那目光让我无力相迎
though he hates and detests me i love that lad still.
哪怕他不爱我,我依然爱着这年轻人
i wrote him a letter in red rosy lines,
我向他寄出玫瑰色的信笺
he wrote back an answer all twisted and twined,
回信上的字迹潦草不堪
saying keep your love letters and i'll keep mine,
他说别再给我写信,我也不会再回复
you write to your love and i'll write to mine.
情书该给你的情人,我也只写给我爱的姑娘
now often i wonder why maidens love men,
如今我常常思索为何少女爱上男子
and often i wonder why young men love then,
为何男人们的爱只在一时
but from my own knoeledge i will have you know,
从我的经验我只能告诉你
the men are deceivers wherever they go.
男人们走到哪骗到哪
green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew,
月桂树郁郁葱葱,露珠轻轻滴落
sorry was i love when parting from you,
与你分离我是多么遗憾
but at our next meeting i hope you'll prove true,
可下次相逢你会看到我的爱是真心
and we'll join the green laurel and the violet so blue
我们会相会在月桂树下,看美妙的紫罗兰
