The trees they grow high, and the leaves they do grow green,
Many is the time my true love I’ve seen,
Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
He’s young but he’s daily growing.
树在长高，叶在变绿
多少次，我见到我的至爱
几多时，我悄悄对他凝视
他还小，但他在一天天的成长
Father, dear father, you’ve done me great wrong,
You have married me to a boy who is too young,
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,
He’s young but he’s daily growing. 父亲啊，亲爱的父亲，你犯了个大错
你将我许配给一个幼小的男孩
我都24了，但他却只有14
他还小，但他在一天天的成长
Daughter, dear daughter, I’ve done you no wrong,
I have married you to a great lord’s son,
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,
He’s young but he’s daily growing 女儿啊，亲爱的女儿，我对你的安排并没有错
我把你嫁给大贵族的儿子
当我离开你，离开这人世，他将是你一生所依靠的男人
虽然他还小，但他在一天天的成长 Father, dear father, if you see fit,
We’ll send him to college for another year yet,
I’ll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,
To let the maidens know that he is married. 父亲啊，亲爱的父亲，如果你觉得可以
我们再让他上一年大学吧
我要在他的头上缠上蓝丝带
让那些年轻的女孩明白, 他已经结婚
One day I was looking over my father’s castle wall,
I spied all the boys playing with a ball,
And my own true love was the flower of them all,
He’s young but he’s daily growing.
有那么一天, 我透过父亲的城堡，
看到很多男孩在玩球
我的至爱是其中最夺目的一个
他还小，但他在一天天的成长
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,
They went into a hayfield to have some sport to play,
And what they did there she never would declare,
But she never more complained of his growing. 黎明初晨
他们在草地上嬉戏玩耍
她不知他们在做些什么
但她无从抱怨，因为他在成长 At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
At the age of fifteen the father of my son,
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
And death had put an end to his growing 十四岁，他已经结婚，
十五岁，他已做父亲，
十六岁啊，他的墓地绿草如茵，
死亡终止了他的成长 I’ll buy my love some flannel,
I’ll make my love a shroud,
With every stitch I put in it,
the tears they will pour down,
With every stitch I put in it,
how the tears they will flow,
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing. 我要为我的至爱买些绒布， 我要为我的至爱缝件衣裳，
我的一针一线
泪滴汇成
我的一针一线
泪流何方
残酷的命运终结他的成长
