歌词
A blacksmith courted me nine months or better
一个铁匠追求我有九个多月了
He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter
他赢得了我的心,给我写了一封信
With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever
手里拿着锤子时,他看起来很帅
And if I were with my love I would live forever
如果我和我的爱能够在一起,我将长命百岁
Oh where has my love gone with his cheeks like roses
哦,我的爱跑哪里去了?他的脸颊像玫瑰一样
He is gone across the sea gathering primroses
他漂洋过海去采集樱草
I'm afraid the shining sun might burn and scorch his beauty
我怕耀眼的太阳会憔悴他的美丽
And if I were with my love I would do my duty
如果我和我的爱能够在一起,我会尽我的职责
Strange news is a-come to town, strange news is carried
镇里有了传闻,人们都在传言
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
奇怪的消息满天飞,传言说我的爱人结婚了
Oh I wish them both great joy, though they don't hear me
哦,我祝福他们美满幸福,尽管他们听不到我的祝福
And if I were with my love I would do my duty
如果我和我的爱能够在一起,我会尽我的职责
What did you promise me when you lay beside me
当你躺在我身边时,你向我发了什么誓?
You said you'd marry me and not deny me
你说你会娶我,你会接纳我
If I said I'd marry you that was only to try you
如果我说了我会嫁给你,那肯定只是为了试探你
So bring your witness love and I'll not deny you
所以请把相爱的证明带给我,我不会拒绝
O , witness have l none save God Almighty
哦,除了全能的上帝,没有任何见证
And may He reward you well for the slighting of me
愿上帝因你轻视我而奖赏你
Her lips grew pale and wan ; it made her poor heart tremble
她的嘴唇变得越来越苍白,她那可怜的心在颤抖
For to think she had loved one , and he proved deceitful
因为她真心爱过一个人,而他却被证明是个骗子
A blacksmith courted me , nine months and better

He fairly won my heart ; he wrote me a letter

With his hammer in his hand , he looked so clever
手里拿着锤子时,他看起来很聪明
And if I were with my love , I would live forever
如果我和我的爱能够在一起,我将长命百岁
