Bonnie Boy Is Young - Judy Collins
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The trees they grow tall
树木已亭亭如盖
The grass is growing green
芳草正郁郁葱葱
Many a cold and winter night that I alone have been
多少寒夜孤衾独枕
It is a cold and cruel night when I must lie alone
长夜凄冷 独卧难眠
The Bonny Boy is young but he is growing
少年郎虽稚嫩 却日渐成长
Oh father dear father I think you done me wrong
父亲啊父亲 您待我何其不公
To go and get me married to one who is so young
将我许配给 这般年幼的郎君
For he is only sixteen years and I am twenty one
他年方十六 而我已二十一
The bonny boy is young but he's growing
少年虽稚嫩 却日渐成长
Oh daughter dear daughter I did not do you wrong
父亲啊 我并未亏待你
For I have married you to a rich man's son
将你许配给富家子弟
And he shall be a match for thee when I am dead and gone
待我离世后 他定与你相配
He is young but he is daily growing
他虽年少 却日渐成熟
Oh father dear father I'll tell you what I'll do
父亲啊 容我道出打算
I'll send the boy to college for another year or two
送那少年求学 再待一两春秋
And all around his college cap I'll bind a ribbon blue
我要在他学士帽边 系上蓝色丝带
For to let the ladies know that he's married
好让姑娘们知道 他已名草有主
A year it went by and I passed the college wall
一年时光流转 我经过学院围墙
And saw the young collegians a playing at the ball
看见年轻学子们 在球场嬉戏追逐
Amidst them was my own true love
人群中站着我的挚爱
The fairest of them all
最耀眼的那一个
He was young but he was daily growing
他虽年少 却日渐成熟
At the age of sixteen he was a married man
十六岁的年纪 他已为人夫
And at the age of seventeen he was the father of a son
十七岁的少年 已为人父
At the age of eighteen his grave had all grown green
十八岁的坟茔 青草萋萋
And the death put an end to his growing
死亡终止了他的成长
I'll make my love a shroud of ornamental brown
我要为爱人织就褐色的寿衣
And whilst I am a making it the tears they will run down
穿针引线时 泪水潸然落下
For once I had my own love now he's lying low
曾经拥有的爱人 如今长眠地下
And I'll nurse his bonny boy while he's growing
我会抚养我们的孩子 直到他长大
