Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet |
|
wǒ céng hé wǒ de zhì ài xiāng yù zài shā yuán zhōng |
|
She passed the Salley Gardens with little snowwhite feet |
|
tā tà zhe xuě bái de xiān xiān yù zú, qīng qīng zǒu guò shā yuán |
|
She bid me take love easy as the leafes grow on the tree |
|
tā yào wǒ jiǎn dān de zhuī qiú zhēn ài, jiù xiàng dà shù zhǎng chū shù yè yì bān zì rán |
|
But I being young and foolish with her did not agree |
|
dàn wǒ shì nà me de nián qīng yú bèn, cóng lái méi yǒu tīng cóng guò tā de xīn shēng |
|
In a field by the river my love and I did stand |
|
wǒ céng hé wǒ de zhì ài bìng jiān zhù lì zài hé pàn de kuàng yě shàng |
|
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snowwhite hand |
|
tā bǎ tā nèn bái de xiǎo shǒu, dā zài wǒ nà wēi wēi qīng xié de jiān bǎng shàng |
|
She bid me take life easy as the grass grows on the weirs |
|
tā yào wǒ jiǎn dān de qù shēng huó, jiù xiàng nà shēng zhǎng zài hé pàn de rèn cǎo yì bān |
|
But I was young and foolish and now I am full of tears |
|
dàn wǒ shì nà me de nián qīng yú bèn, xiàn zài wéi yǒu lèi shuǐ lián lián, gǎn huái mǎn jīn |
