歌词与中文翻译
arr. and adapted by loreena mckennitt
我出门而去
as i walked out one morning
那是五月的时候
all in the month of may
在一个鲜花盛开的花园
down by a flowery garden
我不小心迷了路
i carelessly did stray.
我听见一位少女
i overheard a young maid
在悲伤中抱怨着
in sorrow did complain,
全是因为她那离开的恋人
all for her absent lover
他在狂涛骇浪中航行
who plows the raging main.
我大胆地走到她面前
这让她吃了一惊
i boldly stepped up to her
我知道她认不出
and put her in surprise.
伪装后的我
i know she did not know me
我说：“迷人的尤物
i being in disguise.
我的欢乐，我心中的喜悦
i says, "me charming creature,
你在这昏暗沉闷的夜里
my joy, my hearts delight,
走了多远
how far have you to travel
“我在找那个负心汉
this dark and dreary night?"
他叫做约翰尼
我听说他仍然
"im in search of a faithless young man.
留在克劳迪之岸
johnny is his name.
“这就是克劳迪之岸
and aloing the banks of claudy
美丽的姑娘，就在你站的地方
im told he does remain."
但是别指望约翰尼
他是个无信的年轻人
"this is the banks of claudy
哦，你别指望约翰尼
fair maid where on you stand.
他不会来这里见你
but dont depend on johnny
跟我去那边的绿林里同住吧
for hes a false young man.
什么也不用怕
哦，自从约翰尼离开海岸
oh dont depend on johnny
已有六个星期甚至更久
for hell not meet you here.
他穿越了辽阔的海洋
but tarry with me in yon green woods
面对着惊涛骇浪
no danger need you fear.
他穿越了辽阔的海洋
为的是荣誉和名声
oh its six long weeks or better
但是我听说，那艘船已经撞毁在
since johnny left the shore
西班牙海岸。”
hes crossing the wild ocean
哦，当她听到这个噩耗
where the foam and the billows roar.
陷入深深的绝望
hes crossing the wild ocean
她白皙的双手紧扭
for honour and for fame.
撕扯着她的头发
but this ive heard, the ship was wrecked
她说：“如果约翰尼溺亡了
all on the coast of spain."
我不会再接受任何人
我只会为了他
oh its when she heard this dreadful news
独行于这寂寞的丛林和山谷。”
she flew into dispair.
哦，看到她那样忠贞
by the wringing of her milk white hands
他再也忍不住了
and the tearing of her hair.
他投入她的怀抱说
saying "if johnny he is drowned
“贝斯蒂，我就是那个人。”
no man on earth ill take,
他说：“贝斯蒂，我就是那个年轻人
but through lonesome groves and valleys
你所有的痛苦之源
ill wander for his sake."
但是我们既然相见在克劳迪之岸
就再也不会分离。”
oh its when he saw her loyalty
完
no longer could he stand
he flew into her arms saying
"betsy im the man."
saying "betsy im the young man
the cause of all your pain
but since weve met on claudy banks
well never part again."
