克雷吉山 第8期

It being in the springtime

And the small birds were singing

Down by yon[那边的] shady[成荫的] harbor

I carelessly did stray[走失]

The thrushes[画眉鸟] they were warbling[鸟鸣]

The violets they were charming

To view fond lovers talking

A while I did delay

She said, “My dear don’t leave me

For another season

Though fortune does be pleasing

I’ll go along with you

I’ll forsake friends and relations

And bid this holy nation

And to the bonny[好的] Bann banks

Forever I’ll bid adieu[告别]”

He said, “My dear don’t grieve[悲伤]

or yet annoy my patience

You know I love you dearly

The more I’m going away

I’m going to a foreign nation

To purchase a plantation[大农场]

To comfort us hereafter

All in America”

Then after a short while

A fortune does be pleasing

It will cause them for to smile

At our late going away

We’ll be happy as Queen Victoria

All in her greatest glory

We’ll be drinking wine and porter[黑啤酒]

All in America

If you were in your bed lying

And thinking on dying

The sight of the lovely Bann banks

Your sorrow you’d give o’er

Or if were down one hour

Down in the shady bower[凉亭]

Pleasure would surround you

You’d think on death no more

Then fare you well, sweet Craigie Hill

Where often times I’ve roved[漂泊]

I never thought my childhood days

I’d part you any more

Now we’re sailing on the ocean

For honor and promotion

And the bonny boats are sailing

Way down by Doorin shore

那是个暮春时节

小鸟儿莺莺歌唱

沿着远方绿树婆娑的海港

我无意间迷失了方向

画眉鸟婉转唱和

紫罗兰竞相开放

看着多情的恋人低语

我不由停下脚步

她说:“亲爱的不要离开我

一别又是一季

虽然财富让人欣喜

我宁愿与你同行

我甘愿舍弃亲友

和这个神圣的国家

还有美丽的巴恩河岸

从此永别。”

他说:“亲爱的不要悲伤

否则我也无法忍耐

你知道我离你愈远

我便愈发爱你

我要去陌生的国度

买下辽阔的农场

我们今后可以安居乐业

一切尽在美利坚。”

不久之后

财富的来临让人欣喜

人们将满怀笑意

为最近启程的我们送行

我们会像维多利亚女王那样高兴

沐浴她的伟大荣光

我们畅饮红酒和黑啤酒

一切尽在美利坚

如果你躺在床上

思考着死亡之苦

只要想起可爱的巴恩河岸

美景便能让你忘却忧愁

如果能在幽暗的凉亭下

再停留一点时间

你便会身心愉悦

不再困于死亡的阴影

永别了,亲爱的克雷吉山

我曾一次次在此漫游

童年时,我从没想过

会与你分离

现在我们在大海上航行

为了荣耀与进步

美丽的小船扬起风帆

沿着多利安海岸远去
