I sit here alone on the banks of the river 我坐在这里独自在河岸边

The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high 寂寞的风吹水辊高

I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness 我听到一个声音呼唤人在黑暗中

I sit here alone too lonesome to cry. 我坐在这里独自过于寂寞地哭了。

   

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight 哦，水辊高河在午夜

I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry 我坐在岸边悲伤和哭泣

The woman I love she left me this morning 我爱这个女人今天早上她离开我

With no one to love or kiss me goodnight. 有没有人来爱，或吻我道晚安。

   

We met there one night by the banks of the river 我们一个晚上在河边的银行在那里遇到

Sat there holding hands and making our vows 坐在那里，手牵着手，让我们的誓言

Swore we'd never part and be happy together 发誓我们永远的一部分，快乐起来

But a new love she's found she's gone from me now... 但是，一个新的爱情，她的发现她已经走了，从我现在...
