Early one morning one morning in spring
春日裡的一個早晨
To hear the birds whistle
鳥兒歌唱
The nightingale sing
夜鶯啼叫
I met a fair maiden who sweety did sing
我遇見一位淑女在婉轉歌吟
I'm going to be married next Monday morning
下周一早晨我就要出嫁
How old are you my fair young maid
年輕的淑女芳齡幾何
Here in this valley this valley so green
住在這青翠的山谷之中
How old are you my fair young maid
年輕的淑女芳齡幾何
I'm going to be sixteen next Monday morning
下周一我就年滿16歲了
Well sixteen years old
16歲結婚為時太早
That's too young for you to marry
聽我一句再過5年還不遲
So make my advice five years later to marry
婚姻會來麻煩
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
悲傷從此開始
So put off your wedding for Monday morning
脫下你的婚紗,奉勸你把周一的婚期推遲
You talk like a mad man,a man with no skill
你說起話來像個無知的瘋子
Two years I've been waiting against my own will
我已經違心等了整整兩年
And now I'm determined to have my own way
現在我已下定決心
And I'm going to be married next Monday morning
下周一我就要出嫁了
Next Monday morning the bells they'll ring
下周一早晨鐘聲將敲響
My true love will buy me a gay golden ring
心上人帶來的戒指金光閃亮
Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
他還會捎上一件好看的新衣
To ware at my wedding next Monday morning
周一的婚禮我要把它穿起來
Next Monday night when I go to my bed
下周一晚當我走向婚床
And I turn around to the man that I've wed
回過身去面對我新郎
Around his middle my two arms I'll fling
我把雙臂擁向他的腰身
And I wish to my soul it was Monday morning
衷心祈求此刻是周一早晨
