The Pretty Young Girl
This pretty young maid
我尋找那美麗的姑娘，
I seek far and wide
無論何處何方。
My heartache each morn with her
日日清晨我心惆悵，只因失去了她的方向
I don't meet when I go to the bar the dance hall or fete
當我走進酒館，會翩翩舞起
But I'd follow her trail in the dead of the night
但我每逢夜闌，依舊追尋她的踪跡
Now you're the young man that travels afar
現在少年你啊，請走盡遠山遐海
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
去尋找那片美麗，她將是我的摯愛
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine
不妨把那成群的牛羊，悉數遺忘
And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life
我將盡我所能予，她會得到幸福
她有著青春的貌美，沒有對未來的擔憂
Have her youthful and fair with no worry or care
有著堅定和智慧，有著靈巧的雙手
Patient and wise in affairs of all kind
她溫潤如玉，謙遜少語
Modest and mild without too much pride
若樸實不改，那就是我的摯愛
That is my love if she hadn't a dime
現在少年你啊，走向遠山遐海
Now you're the young man that travels afar
若找到了那片美麗，她將是我的摯愛
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
不妨把那成群的牛羊，悉數遺忘
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine
我將盡我所能予，她會得到幸福
And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life
她的聲名未受侮辱，也沒有遺憾
她的心地赤誠，舉止溫婉
Let no blemish or shame be attached to her name
她的口中沒有仇恨也沒有抱怨
Honest in heart and gentle in mien
只有愉悅的微笑，從早到晚
No hatred or vice to be heard in her voice
現在少年你啊，走盡遠山遐海
But cheerful and smiling from morning 'til night
找到了那片美麗，她便是我的摯愛
Now you're the young man that travels afar
不妨把那成群的牛羊，悉數遺忘
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
我將盡我所能予，她會得到幸福
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine
我會給她幸福
And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life
And I'll charm her life
