Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
在莎莉花园深处，吾爱与我曾经相遇。

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

她穿越莎莉花园，以雪白的小脚。

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

她嘱咐我要爱得轻松，当新叶在枝桠萌芽。

But I being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

但我当年年幼无知，不予轻率苟同。



In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
在河边的田野，吾爱与我曾经驻足。

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

她依靠在我的肩膀，以雪白的小手。

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

她嘱咐我要活得轻松，当青草在堤岸滋长。

But I was young and foolish, and now i m full of tears.

但我当年年幼无知，而今热泪盈眶。
