As I walked down by the riverside 正如我在河边走下来

One evening in the spring 有一天晚上在春天

Heard a long gone song 听到一个早已逝去的歌

From days gone by 从昔日

Blown in on the great North wind 在伟大的北风吹在

Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry 虽然没有寂寞秧鸡的叫声

Or sorrow and delight 或悲伤和喜悦

You can hear the cars 你能听到汽车

And the shouts from bars 从酒吧的喊声

And the laughter and the fights 而笑声和打架

   

May the ghosts that howled 五月嚎叫鬼

Round the house at night 圆形的房子，晚上

Never keep you from your sleep 永远不要让你从你的睡眠

May they all sleep tight 可能他们都睡紧

Down in hell tonight 唐恩在今晚地狱

Or where ever they may be 或者其它任何他们可能会

   

As I walked on with a heavy heart 当我走在怀着沉重的心脏

Then a stone danced on the tide 然后，一块石头上跳舞潮

And the song went on 和歌继续

Though the lights were gone 虽然灯光都不见了

And the North wind gently sighed 北风轻轻地叹了口气

And an evening breeze coming from the East 从东方的晚风来

That kissed the riverside 那个吻河边

So I pray now child that you sleep tonight 所以，我现在祈求你今晚睡觉的孩子

When you hear this lullaby 当你听到这首催眠曲

   

May the wind that blows from haunted graves 五月吹从闹鬼的墓地风

Never bring you misery 永远不要为你带来痛苦

May the angels bright 愿明亮的天使

Watch you tonight 看你今晚

And keep you while you sleep 并让你在你睡觉
