Written by：Eric Andersen

In the cattails a maid did dwell
芦苇荡中住着一位姑娘
She sang sweet songs but she loved as well
歌声甜美却更懂情长
She was a bit over five feet tall
她身量不过五尺余
And she loved no man
不爱世间任何儿郎
She loved no man
不爱世间任何儿郎
In her bed many hours we lay
我们曾在床榻缠绵时光
While the north winds blow and the sparrows play
任北风呼啸雀鸟嬉翔
And in my hand she placed a key
她将钥匙轻放我掌心上
Sayin' keep this my love
轻诉 请珍藏这份爱意
Follow me
随我而来
So I swore for she knew me well
我郑重起誓 因她深知我心
I swore this love
立誓将此爱
I'd never tell
永藏心底
She said for me her soul she'd sell
她曾说愿为我出卖灵魂
If she must walk
纵使要踏遍
The fires of hell
炼狱之火
Her hair it rushed and flowed so long
她的秀发如瀑般倾泻流淌
On a silken pillow it
轻覆在丝绒枕上
Did belong
那是她的温床
Her eyes were yellow like the mornin' sun
她双眸澄澈似晨光初绽
And they were singin' each one a song
每道眼波都漾着歌谣
And her skin was dark
她的肌肤
Like a russet dawn
若秋日破晓的赭色霞光
Well in her hair would flow my tears
我的泪水在她发间流淌
Of my lonely days and my bitter years
浸透我孤寂岁月与苦涩时光
And on her breast my soul would sail
我的灵魂在她心口启航
And her mouth was as sweet
她的双唇甘美如蜜糖
Sweet as Ale
似陈酿般醇香
She was to me a golden cup
她是我生命的金樽
That poured me life for me to sup
倾注琼浆供我啜饮
And in her heart was a lookin' glass
她心扉如明镜澄亮
And a sturdy ship
一艘坚固的船
With a highest mast
桅杆高耸入云
For many days I did remain
我在此停留多日
Until one day I forgot her name
直到某天忘却她的名
Then I knew I'd have to go
那时我明白必须离去
From where the sparrows played
离开麻雀嬉戏之地
And the north winds' blow
与北风呼啸之处
But then one day by the cattail pond
可那日芦苇塘边
My love was dyin' and then she was gone
吾爱渐凋零 终随风逝
I buried her where the green grass grows
我将她葬于芳草萋萋处
And there she slept
任她长眠
'Til the winter snows
直至冬雪覆新坟
So I sang my sorrow to the trees
我向林木倾吐哀思
And they said go sing it to the breeze
林木低语：且随风吟
Well I knew this love no man could believe
这份爱无人能懂
So I buried my sorrow my heart and my key
我将悲伤、心与钥匙一同埋葬
