On the banks of the river where the willows hang down 在河岸边，其中杨柳垂

And the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound 与野鸟所有吟哦与低的呻吟声

Down in the hollow where the waters run cold 倒在空心的地方跑水寒

It was there I first listened to the lies that you told 在那里我第一次听你说的谎言

   

Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face 现在，我躺在我的床上，我看到你的甜蜜的脸

The past I remember time cannot erase 过去，我记得时间无法抹去

The letter you wrote me it was written in shame 你给我写了这是写在耻辱信

And I know that your conscience still echo's my name 我知道，你的良心还在回响是我的名字

   

Now the nights are so long, Lord sorrow runs deep 现在晚上都这么久了，主悲伤根深蒂固

And nothing is worse than a night without sleep 没有什么比不睡一晚差

I'll walk out alone and look at the sky 我走出孤独，仰望天空

Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry 太空虚唱歌，太孤独哭泣

   

If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes 如果女士们山鸟和女士们画眉

I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes 我躺在那里好几个小时，在料峭的沼泽

If the ladies were squirrel's with high bushy tails 如果女士们松鼠的高蓬松的尾巴

I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails 我填写了我的猎枪用岩盐和指甲
