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

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 happy face and jolly air. 有了这样一个快乐的脸，快活的空气。

   

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 he had brought me 但他一点儿也不知道，他给我带来的悲伤

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

   

With trembling hand I took this letter from him 用颤抖的手，我带着这封信来自他

When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning 当邮递员昨日上午带来的信

So, I'm writing you this letter edged in black." 所以，我写此信是黑色的这封信边。 “
