歌词
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
别唱情歌了，你会吵醒我的妈妈
She's sleeping here right by my side
她正睡在我的身旁
And in her right hand a silver dagger
在她的右手边，放着把银色匕首
She says that I can't be your bride.
她说我别想成为你的新娘
All men are false, says my mother
“男人都是骗子”，妈妈这么说
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
他们净说些邪恶的，爱情的谎言
The very next evening, they'll court another
隔夜又热衷于讨好其他的女人
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
留下你一人独自悲叹
My daddy is a handsome devil
我的爸爸是个英俊的魔鬼
He's got a chain five miles long
他手握一条五里之长的锁链
And on every link a heart does dangle
每环链节上都挂着个无辜少女的心
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
深爱过却又狠心抛之千里
Go court another tender maiden,
你去追求其他的女孩吧
And hope that she will be your wife
但愿某个她会成为你的妻子
For I've been warned, and I've decided
妈妈的告诫悬在我的头顶，我心意已决
To sleep alone all of my life.
从此一生，一个人孤独而眠
