The Pretty Young Girl
This pretty young maid
我寻找那美丽的姑娘，
I seek far and wide
无论何处何方。
My heartache each morn with her
日日清晨我心惆怅，只因失去了她的方向
I don't meet when I go to the bar the dance hall or fete
当我走进酒馆，会翩翩舞起
But I'd follow her trail in the dead of the night
但我每逢夜阑，依旧追寻她的踪迹
Now you're the young man that travels afar
现在少年你啊，请走尽远山遐海
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
去寻找那片美丽，她将是我的挚爱
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine
不妨把那成群的牛羊，悉数遗忘
And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life
我将尽我所能予，她会得到幸福
她有着青春的貌美，没有对未来的担忧
Have her youthful and fair with no worry or care
有着坚定和智慧，有着灵巧的双手
Patient and wise in affairs of all kind
她温润如玉，谦逊少语
Modest and mild without too much pride
若朴实不改，那就是我的挚爱
That is my love if she hadn't a dime
现在少年你啊，走向远山遐海
Now you're the young man that travels afar
若找到了那片美丽，她将是我的挚爱
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
不妨把那成群的牛羊，悉数遗忘
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine
我将尽我所能予，她会得到幸福
And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life
她的声名未受侮辱，也没有遗憾
她的心地赤诚，举止温婉
Let no blemish or shame be attached to her name
她的口中没有仇恨也没有抱怨
Honest in heart and gentle in mien
只有愉悦的微笑，从早到晚
No hatred or vice to be heard in her voice
现在少年你啊，走尽远山遐海
But cheerful and smiling from morning 'til night
找到了那片美丽，她便是我的挚爱
Now you're the young man that travels afar
不妨把那成群的牛羊，悉数遗忘
Find me a gem I can have as my wife
我将尽我所能予，她会得到幸福
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine
我会给她幸福
And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life
And I'll charm her life
