DOWN by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
走進莎莉花園 我和我的愛人相遇
She passed the salley gardens with little

snow-white feet.
她穿越莎莉花園 踏著雪白的纖足
She bid me take love easy,

as the leaves grow on the tree;
她請我輕柔的對待這份情 像依偎在樹上的葉子
But I, being young and foolish,

with her would not agree.
但我是如此年輕而無知 不曾細聽她的心聲

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
在河流畔的曠野 我和我的愛人並肩佇立
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her

snow-white hand.
她雪白的手倚靠 在我的微傾的肩膀
She bid me take life easy,

as the grass grows on the weirs;
她請我珍重生命 像生長在河堤的小草
But I was young and foolish,

 and now am full of tears.
但當時的我是如此年輕而無知 現在只能充滿無用的淚水
