Banks of the Bann - Jackie Oates
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When first to this country as a stranger I came
当我初至异乡 还是个陌生客
I placed my affection and I go but was young
情窦初开时 便倾心于她
She being farm and tender her waist small and slender
她身姿纤柔 腰肢如柳
Fond nature had formed her for my overthrow
造化弄人 偏教我沉沦
On the banks of the Bann it was there
在班河畔 那初遇之地
I first met her
我初次遇见她
She appeared like an angel or Egypt's fair queen
恍若天使临凡 或埃及艳后
Her eyes were like diamonds or stars brightly shining
明眸似星辰 璀璨如钻石
She's one of the fairest whatever I've seen
她是我见过最美的姑娘
It was her cruel parents that first caused a variance
是她狠心的父母先拆散鸳鸯
Because I was poor and above my degree
因我出身寒微 配不上她门楣
But I'll do my endeavour to gain my love's favour
但我愿倾尽所有 赢得她的芳心
Although she is from of a high family
纵使她来自显赫门庭
My name is Delaney it's a name that won't shame me
德莱尼是我的名 这姓氏清白光明
And if I'd have money I would never have roamed
若我腰缠万贯 何必漂泊异乡
But drinking and sporting night rambling and courting
终日饮酒作乐 夜夜寻欢求偶
Are the 'cause of all me ruin and absence from home
这一切苦难使我背井离乡
I've hand and I die is in is Indies
我愿在异国他乡奉献生命
I'd put rings on her fingers and gold in her ears
为她戴上戒指 耳畔点缀黄金
It's there on the banks of the lovely Bann River
在那美丽的班河畔
In all kinds of splendour I'd live with my dear
我将与挚爱共享荣华
