歌词
In Oxford city there lived a lady,
牛津城曾有位佳人，
And she was beautiful and fair.
靡颜而细理，
And she was courted by a sailor,
一个水手追求着她，
And he did love her as his dear.
珍爱着她。
He said:' My dear, let us be married,
他说：“亲爱的，嫁给我吧，
Let us now no longer stay.
我不愿再等待，
I'll work for you both late and early
哪怕为你日夜辛勤，
If you my wedded bride will be.
只希望你能成为我的新娘。”
He saw her dancing with another.
他看到她和别人共舞，
A jealous thought came to his mind;
嫉妒占据了他的内心；
And to destroy his own true lover,
为了毁掉自己的真爱，
He gave to her a glass of wine.
他给了她一杯葡萄酒。
So soon she drank it, so soon she felt it.
很快她喝了下去，很快毒药发作，
'Oh, hold me fast, my dear,' said she.
“抱紧我，亲爱的”，她说，
Is it that glass of wine you did give me,
“那杯你给我的葡萄酒，
That takes my sweet young life away?
是不是将要带走我美好年轻的生命？”
Oh listen my love now I'll tell you
啊，听着我亲爱的，
That glass of wine did poison hide,
那确实是一杯毒酒，
For if you won't be my own lover,
就算你不愿做我的爱人，
You'll never be another's bride.
你也永远不会是别人的新娘！
Oh, that glass of wine which I gave you,
啊，那杯我给你的毒酒，
Oh, I did drink it since I give,
我也已经喝过，
And in each other's arms we'll die together,
我们将会一起死在彼此的怀抱里，
To warn young men of jealousy.
告诫后世人这是嫉妒的代价。
Oh hark, oh hark, the cocks are crowing.
听哪，听哪，公鸡正在打鸣，
And soon the daylight will appear,
很快晨光将遍洒大地，
And into my cold grave I am going,
而我正走向凄冷的墓穴，
And you my love will join me there.
而你，我的爱人，会在那和我相会。
