When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup 当我还是个小伙子，老谢普是小狗

Over hills and meadows we'd stray 在丘陵和草场，我们会迷失

Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun 只是一个小男孩和他的狗，我们都充满了乐趣

We grew up together that way 我们是一起长大的呀

I remember the time at the old mill pond 我记得当时在老磨坊池塘

When I would've drowned beyond doubt 当我已经淹死了不容置疑

But old Shep was right there, to the rescue he came 但老谢普就在那里，要他来救援

He jumped in and helped pull me out 他跳下并帮助拉我出去

As, the years passed and rolled, at last he grew old 至于，岁月的流逝并推出，最后他变老

And his eyesight was fast growing dim. 他的视力正在快速增长的暗淡。

Then one day the doctor looked at me and said 后来有一天，医生看了看我，说：

?I can't do no more for him, Jim? ？我不能为他做不动了，吉姆？

I went to his side and sat on the ground 我走到他身边，坐在地上

And laid his old head on my knee 并把他的老脸在我的膝盖

Well, he was the best friend that I ever had 嗯，他是我遇到过的最好的朋友

I cried so I scarcely could see 我哭了，所以我几乎可以看到

Old Sheppie he knew, he was going to go 老Sheppie他知道，他是去

For he reached out and licked at my hand 对于他伸手在舔我的手

He looked up at me, just as much as to say 他抬起头看着我，就像是在说

We're parting but you understand 我们离别，但你明白

Now old Sheppie is gone where the good doggies go 现在老Sheppie走了哪里好狗狗去

And no more with old Shep will I roam 并没有更多的与旧的夏普。将我漫游

But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing for sure 但是，如果狗有天堂，下有一件事是肯定的

Old Shep has a wonderful home 老谢普有一个美好的家园
