歌词
It was on a summer's morning all in the month of May
那是个五月的夏日清晨
Down by yon flowery gardens I carelessly did stray
我在鲜花盛开的花园漫步
I overheard a fair maid in sorrow did complain
偶然听到一个美丽少女悲伤的倾诉
All for her absent lover who plowed the raging main
只因恋人离开，去汹涌的海上航行
I boldly stepped up to her and gived her a surprise
我大胆地走上前，把她吓了一跳
I knew she did not know me, for I being in disguise
我知道她不认识我，因为我乔装打扮
I said, "My charming creature, my heart and joy's delight
我：“美丽的少女，你让我倾心，使我快乐
How far do you mean to wander this dark and dreary night?"
为何你要在这样漆黑可怕的夜晚走这么远？"
"Kind sir, the way to Claudy, if you will please to show
她："好心的先生，如果你知道去克劳迪城的路，就请告诉我吧
Oh take pity on a fair maid that knows not where to go
可怜我这不识路的美丽少女
I am on the search of a faithless young man and Johnny is his name
我正在找一个负心的年轻人，他名叫约翰尼
And all on the Banks of Claudy I am told he does remain"
人家告诉我他就在克劳迪城的河岸上
"This is the Banks of Claudy, fair maid, where on you stand
我：这里就是克劳迪的河岸，美丽的少女
But don't depend on Johnny for he's a false young man
不过别再对那个负心汉约翰尼抱有期望了
Oh don't depend on Johnny, for he'll not meet you here
别依赖约翰尼，他不会来见你
But tarry with me in yon greenwoods, no danger need you fear"
和我走在树林里，你不用害怕
"Oh if Johnny, he was here this night, he'd keep me from all harm
女：哦，如果约翰尼今晚在这里，他一定会保护我
But he's in the field of battle all in his uniform
但他正身穿戎装，厮杀在战场
Since he's in the field of battle, his foes he does defy
在战场上，他绝不会向敌人屈服
Like a ruling king of honor, he fought in the war of Troy"
像一个荣耀的国王，他在特洛伊战争中战斗
"It is six long weeks and better since Johnny left the shore
约翰尼离开家乡已经整整六个多星期了
He is crossing the wide ocean where the foaming billows roar
他正穿过无边无际，巨浪滔天的大海
Since he's crossing the wide ocean for honor and for fame
他为了荣耀穿越大海
But this I heard, the ship was wrecked on the fatal coast of Spain"
但我听说，他乘的船在危险的西班牙海岸遇难了。
Oh it's when she heard the dreadful news, she flew into despair
少女听到这可怕的消息时，瞬间陷入了绝望
With a wringing of her hands and a toring of her hair
双手紧握，拽着自己的头发
Saying, "If Johnny, he is drowned, no man on earth I'll take
她说：如果约翰尼淹死了，我绝不会跟别的男人在一起
But through lonesome groves and valleys I'll wander for his sake"
我会为了他走遍孤寂的树林，荒凉的山谷
Oh it's when he saw her loyalty, no longer could he stand
旁白：当他看到她是如此忠诚，他再也忍不住了
He flew into her arms saying, "Betsy, I'm the man"
他扑到她怀中，说：“”贝特西，我就是那个人。
Saying, "Betsy, I'm the young man, the cause of all your pain
我就是让你心碎的年轻人
But since we've met on Claudy's banks, we shall never part again"
如今我们在克劳迪的岸边重聚，我们再也不要分开了。
