In a neat little town they call Belfast

Apprentice to trade I was bound

And the many's the hours sweet happiness
多少甜蜜时光 幸福洋溢
I've I spent in that neat little town

But a sad misfortune's come over me
但厄运突然降临
Which caused me to stray from the land
迫使我背井离乡
Far away from me friends and companions
远离亲朋挚友
Betrayed by the black velvet band
皆因那黑天鹅绒发带背叛
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
她的眼眸如钻石般闪耀
I thought her the queen of the land
我视她为这片土地的女王
And her hair it hair hung over her shoulder
她的秀发垂落肩头
Held up with a black velvet band
用黑天鹅绒发带轻挽
I took a stroll down Broadway
我漫步在百老汇街头
Intending not long for to stay
本无意长久停留
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
却偏偏遇见这位美丽的姑娘
Come traipsing along the highway
她沿着公路款款而来
She was both fair and handsome
容颜姣好 风姿绰约
Her neck it was white like a swan
玉颈如天鹅般白皙
And her hair hung down from her shoulders
秀发垂落香肩
Held up with a black velvet band
用黑天鹅绒发带轻挽
Her eyes they shone like diamonds

I thought her the queen of the land

And her hair it hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a black velvet band
系着黑天鹅绒发带
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

Met a gentleman as he passed by
恰逢一位绅士擦肩而过
Sure I knew she meant the doing of him
她狡黠的黑眸流转间
By the look in her roguish black eye
我知她欲对他行不轨
A gold watch she took from his pocket
她从绅士口袋摸出金表
And placed it right into my hand
径直塞进我的掌心
And the very first thing that I said was

What's this to the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds

And her hair it hung over her shoulder

But before the judge and the jury

Next morning I had to appear

And the judge he says to me

Young man your case it is proven and clear

I'll give you seven years penal servitude

To be spent far away from the land

Far away from your friends and companions

A warning take from me
请听我一句忠告
And if you go out on the town me boys
若你们流连城镇街巷
Beware of the pretty colleens

They'll feed you with strong drink my lads

'Til you are unable to stand

And the very first thing that you'll know is
你最先明白的真相是
You've landed in van dieman's land

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
