班布里奇小鎮附近的鄧恩郡上
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
七月的某個清晨
One morning in July
格林小巷來了一個甜美的姑娘
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
沿途走過時露出微笑
And she smiled as she passed me by.
她擁有雪白的纖足，她看起來是那樣美好
She looked so sweet from her two white feet
栗色的頭髮泛著迷人的光澤
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
如此讓人目眩神迷，我得活動一下
Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
以此確認我還雙腳著地，神智清醒
To make sure I was standing there.
當她向前飛奔時，我理所當然地點頭
As she onward sped,sure I shook my head
我靜靜凝視著，心底湧起不曾有過的情緒
And I gazed with a feeling rare
我說，呃，我問一個路過的行人
And I said, says I, to a passerby
這擁有一頭栗色秀發的姑娘是誰
Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?
他微笑，有些驕傲地說
He smiled at me, and with pride says he
她是愛爾蘭王冠上熠熠生輝的寶石
That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
她是來自巴恩兩岸年輕的羅西麥肯
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
她是鄧恩郡的明星
She's the star of the County Down.
從班特里灣一直到都德里碼頭
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
戈爾韋到都柏林
And from Galway to Dublin town
我從未見過髮色如此的少女
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
可我竟然在鄧恩郡遇到了
That I met in the County Down.
收穫祭時她一定會在這裡吧
At the harvest fair She'll be surely there
到時我會盛裝出席
So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
戴好我的帽子，穿上鋥亮的皮鞋
With my hat just right and my shoes shined bright and from my nut-brown rose.
讓我心上的玫瑰能一眼注意到我
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
我不會叼著煙斗，也不會牽著馬
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
直到鋤頭磨損，顏色漸退
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
直到閃閃發光的她
Sits the star of the county down.
面帶笑容地坐在我家爐邊
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
從班特里灣一直到都德里碼頭
And from Galway to Dublin town
戈爾韋到都柏林
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
我從未見過髮色如此的少女
That I met in the County Down.
可我竟然在鄧恩郡遇到了
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
從班特里灣一直到都德里碼頭
And from Galway to Dublin town
戈爾韋到都柏林
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
我從未見過如此美麗的姑娘
That I met in the County Down.
直到我來到了鄧恩郡
The Star of the County Down
