歌词
Oh Mary, this London’s a wonderful sight
亲爱的玛丽，伦敦城确有它的气派与曼妙光景
With people here working by days and by night
形形色色的人们在这里日夜奔忙
They don’t sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
这里既不耕种土豆也没有大小麦
But there’s gangs of them digging for gold in the street
却常看到一伙伙人在街头空地劳作辛勤
At least when I ask them, that’s what I was told
每每当我问起时，他们总笑称“掘金”
So I just took a hand at this digging for gold
于是我也加入他们的工地，打算碰碰运气
But for all that I found there, I might as well be
可即使是伦敦原来也不过只有些寻常不过的碎石瓦砾
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
和我那在莫恩山脚的故乡土石可有哪些区别呢？
I believe that when writing a wish you expressed
我知道你一定很关心大都会里的种种时尚
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
尤其想知道那里优雅的淑女们如何打扮自己
Well if you’ll believe me, when asked to a ball
但你可能不敢相信，当要去参加舞会时
They don’t wear no tops to their dresses at all
姑娘们实在穿得少之又少，春光摇摇
Oh, I’ve seen them myself and you could not in truth
哦我曾亲眼看到她们嬉笑着奔赴舞会的样子
Tell it if they were bound for a ball or a bath
你甚至不会知道她们是打算开始跳舞还是洗澡
Don’t be starting them fashions now Mary McRae
亲爱的玛丽啊请先不要跟随这城里的另类风潮
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
只平凡地生活在这莫恩山脚绵绵入海的小小村庄
There’s beautiful girls here oh never you mind
伦敦真是有太多靓丽的姑娘，哦请不要介意
Beautiful shapes that nature never designed
明眸皓齿与曼妙腰肢，真似天女下凡
Lovely complexions of roses and cream
那姣好面容和玉肌如玫瑰般娇艳、奶油般温柔
But let me remark with regard to the same
却并不足以让我深陷于她们的秋波之中
That if at those roses you venture to sip
靡靡之中你若遗失于芬芳，啜饮那鲜红
The colors might all come away on your lip
都会玫瑰也将在你唇刺下印记，上升到亲吻之中最冷一吻
So I’ll wait for the wild rose that’s waiting for me
我更愿等待那朵同样在守候着我的乡野玫瑰
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
如今她正静静盛开在莫恩山下延延入海的小小村庄
You remember young Danny McClaren of course
你可还记得当年的小丹尼麦克莱恩
Well he’s older here with the rest of the force
他也曾稚嫩过的面庞上已添了些许沧桑
I saw him one day as he stood on the strand
有一天我在滨海的交通线上看见了他
Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand
只神气地挥一挥手就让滚滚的钢铁洪流熄灭了嚣张
As we were talking of days that are gone
当我们相视相识，谈论起早已无人问津的过往时日
The whole town of London stood there to look on
整个伦敦都纷纷驻足停摆，屏息以待
But for all his great powers, he’s wishful like me
可即使已在风云际会的异乡博得如此大权，他却也常常会像我一样
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
想要踏上那条久违的归乡路，回到那莫恩山脚平平无奇的小小村庄
