Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
在莎莉花园深处，吾爱与我曾经相遇。
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
她穿越莎莉花园，以雪白的小脚。
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
她嘱咐我要爱得轻松，当新叶在枝桠萌芽。
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
但我当年年幼无知，不予轻率苟同。
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
在河边的田野，吾爱与我曾经驻足。
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
她依靠在我的肩膀，以雪白的小手。
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
她嘱咐我要活得轻松，当青草在堤岸滋长。
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
但我当年年幼无知，而今热泪盈眶。
