The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green,
树在长高, 叶在变绿,
Many is the time my true love Ive seen,
许多次, 我看到他我的可爱,
Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
几多时, 我独自对他长久凝视,
Hes young but hes daily growing.
他还小, 但他在长大.

Father, dear father, youve done me great wrong,
爸爸, 亲爱的爸爸, 你对女儿犯下伟大的错
You have married me to a boy who is too young,

I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,

Daughter, dear daughter, Ive done you no wrong,
女儿, 亲爱的女儿, 我给你的安排并没错
I have married you to a great lords son,
我把你嫁给豪门的儿子,
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,
一旦我老去, 他将是你依靠的男人,
Hes young but hes daily growing
他还小, 但他在长大
Father, dear father, if you see fit,
爸爸, 亲爱的爸爸, 如果你认为合适,
Well send him to college for another year yet,

One day I was looking over my fathers castle wall,

I spied all the boys playing with a ball,

And my own true love was the flower of them all,
我的可爱追逐其中,
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,
那是曙光微现的清晨，
They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,
们冲入草场锻炼游戏，
And what they did there she never would declare,
他们的幼稚，她羞于告人
But she never more complained of his growing.
但她无从抱怨，因为他在成长．
At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
十四岁，他成已婚男人
At the age of fifteen the father of my son,

At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
十六岁，他的墓地绿草如芸
And death had put an end to his growing.

Ill buy my love some flannel, Ill make my love a shroud,
我买来法兰绒，给我的可爱做寿衣，

With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,
一针下去，泪如雨，
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,
一针上来，雨是泪，
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
残酷的命运把他的一生划了个终点
