Down by the Salley Gardens      走进莎莉花园
My love and I did meet      我和我的爱人相遇
She passed the Salley Gardens      她穿越莎莉花园
With little snow-white feet      踏著雪白的纤足
She bid me take love easy      她请我轻柔的对待这份情
As the leaves grow on the tree      当新叶在枝桠萌芽
But I being young and foolish      但我是如此年轻而无知

With her did not agree     不曾细听她的心声

In a field by the river     在河流畔的旷野
My love and I did stand     我和我的爱人并肩伫立
And on my leaning shoulder     在我的微倾的肩膀
She laid her snow-white hand     她柔白的手倚靠
She bid me take life easy     她请我珍重生命
As the grass grows on the weirs     当青草在堤岸滋长
But I was young and foolish     但我是如此年轻而无知
And now am full of tears   现在只充满无用的泪水
Down by the Salley Gardens     走进莎莉花园
My love and I did meet     我和我的爱人相遇
She passed the Salley Gardens     她穿越莎莉花园
With little snow-white feet     踏著雪白的纤足
She bid me take love easy     她请我轻柔的对待这份情
As the leaves grow on the tree     当青草在堤岸滋长
But I being young and foolish     但我是如此年轻而无知
With her did not agree     不曾细听她的心声
         But I was young and foolish     但我是如此年轻而无知
And now am full of tears     如今只充满无限的泪水
