I Wish, I Wish

I wish, I wish,
我希望，我希望
but it's all in vain
尽管都是徒劳
I wish I was a maid again
我希望我青春犹在
But a maid again I never can be
我知道这是不可能的
Till apples grow on an orange tree
除非乌头白，马生角
I wish my baby it was born
我希望我那未能出生的孩子
And smiling on its daddy's knee
能够在父亲身边欢笑
Then I would go to yon churchyard
那样我便死而无憾
And let the long green grass grow over me
九泉之下，我以草为裳
When my apron-strings hung low
当我青春年少时
He followed me through frost and snow
我们曾是燕侣莺俦
But now my apron's to my chin
然而当我我年华不再
He goes on by and says nothing
他不辞而别
Oh grief, oh grief,
唉，上苍啊
please tell me why
能告诉我为何如此吗
That girl has more gold than I
那个富家千金
More gold than I, more beauty, more fame
她富有又貌美，众星捧月
Yet for her it will be the same
我又怎能比得上她呢
So I wish, I wish,
我希望，我希望
but it's all in vain
尽管都是徒劳
I wish I was a maid again
我希望我容颜未改
But a maid again I never can be
我知道这是不可能的
Till apples grow on an orange tree
除非枝末生根，枯木生花
I wish, I wish,but it's all in vain
我希望，尽管都是徒劳
I wish I was a maid again
我希望我芳华未改
I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain
我希望，尽管都是徒劳
I wish I was a maid again
我希望他还在我身边
I wish, I wish,
我希望，我希望
but it's all in vain
尽管都是徒劳
I wish I was a maid again
我希望我还是那个少女
But a maid again I never can be
我知道这是不可能的
Till apples grow on an orange tree
除非煎水作冰，山童石烂
