As I was a walking down by the loch

当我沿着海湾走下

As I was a walking one morning of late

在临近中午时散步

Who should I spy but my own dear comrade

除了我亲爱的同伴，我又能注目谁

Wrapped up in white flannel

裹在白色法兰绒里的他

so hard is his fate

命运是如此艰难

I boldly stepped up to

我大胆走上前

And kindly did ask him

亲切问他

Why are you wrapped up in flannel so white

你为何包裹在如此洁白的法兰绒里

My body is injured

我的身体受伤了

And sadly disordered

且悲痛地紊乱

All by a young woman

都是因为一个年轻女人

my own heart’s delight

我内心最喜悦她

oh had she but told me

如果她在伤害我时

when she disordered me

能够告诉我

had she but told me of it at the time

如果在那时她能告诉我

I might have got salts or pills of white mercury

我可能会用盐或白色水银药片

But now I’m cut down

但现在我杀了自己

in the height of my prime

在我青春的巅峰时期

Get six pretty maidens

找来六位美丽少女

to carry my coffin

来抬我的棺材

and six pretty maidens

六位美丽少女

to bear up my pall

来支撑我的灵魂

and give to each of them

给她们每一位

bunches of roses

玫瑰花簇

that they may not smell me

这样他们就不会在走的时候

as they go along

闻到我的余味
