Shes Like The Swallow
shes like a swallow that flies so high,
她像燕子在高處飛翔
shes like the river that never runs dry,
她如河水涓涓流淌
shes like the sunshine on the lee shore ,
她似太陽照耀鋪滿青草的岸邊
she loves her love and love is no more.
她深愛的她的戀人
tis out in the meadow this fair maid did go ,
少女走進花叢
picking the lovely primrose,
採摘野生的玫瑰
the more she plucked the more she pulled,
她不停地採,不斷地摘
until shes got her apron full.
直到她的圍裙滿載
she climbed on yonder hill above,
她爬上那座小山
to give a rose unto her love,
把玫瑰送給她的愛人
she gave him one, she gave him three,
一朵一朵接著一朵
she gave her heart for company.
她把自己的心也一同陪伴
and as they sat on yonder hill,
他們坐在那座小山上
his heart grew hard, so harder still,
他的心腸漸漸變得如鐵石一般
he has two hearts instead of one,
他心不在焉三心二意
she says, young man what have you done
她問愛人啊你都做了些什麼
how foolish, foolish you must be,
多麼愚蠢的女孩兒啊
to think i loved no one but thee,
以為我除了你誰都不愛
this world s not made for one alone,
世界不是為了哪個人而存在
i take delight in everyone
我更願意將每一朵花採摘
