Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
在莎莉花园深处，吾爱与我曾经相遇。
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
她雪花般的纤足，向着花园尽头走去。
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
她嘱我爱得简单，如枝上萌发的新绿。
But I, being young and foolish,with her did not agree.
但当年年少无知，不愿接受她的心语。
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
在远方河畔旷野，吾爱与我并肩伫立。
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
在我微倾的肩上，她搭起纯白的手臂。
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
她嘱我活得淡然，像青草滋长于岸堤。
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears.
但当年年少无知，如今早已泪满衣裳 。
