I was standin' by my window yesterday morning 我是站在我的窗口昨天上午

Without a thought of sorrow or of care 如果没有照顾悲伤和思想

When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway 当我看到邮递员马上就要来了通路

With such a smiling face and jolly air. 有了这样的笑脸和快乐的空气。

   

He rang the bell and whistled as he waited 他按响了门铃，吹口哨，因为他等待

Then he said; "Good morning to you, Jack" 然后他说; “早上好，杰克”

But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me 但他很少知道的悲伤，他给我带来了

When he handed me a letter edged in black. 当他递给我一封信，一柄黑色。

   

With trembling hands I took the letter from him 用颤抖的手我把信从他身上

I open it and sifted what it said: 我打开它，并过筛这样说：

"Come home my boy, your dear old daddy wants you “回家我的孩子，你亲爱的老爸要你

Come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead." 回家我的孩子，你亲爱的妈妈死了。“

   

"The last words your mother ever uttered “最后的话你的母亲曾经闹过

Tell my boy I want him to come back 告诉我的男孩，我希望他能回来

My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking 我的眼睛模糊了，我的老心脏不佳，破

As, I write to you this letter edged in black." 正如，我写信给你这封信一柄黑色的。 “

   

"Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken “这些气话我希望我从来没有说过

You know I didn't mean them, don't you, Jack 你知道我不是这个意思他们，不要你，杰克

May the angels bear me witness, I am asking 愿天使给我作见证，我问

Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black."... 你在这封信宽恕一柄黑色的。 “ ......
