Down by the salley gardens

◎ 《Down by the salley gardens》

Down by the salley gardens

园柳深深

My love and I did meet

伊人相遇

She passed the salley gardens

如玉纤足

With little snow white feet

越阡步细

She bid me take love easy

嘱予素心

As the leaves grow on the tree

如柳见绿

But I being young and foolish

少不经事

With her would not agree

不解其义

In a field by the river

在水之湄

My love and I did stand

伊人并立

And on my leaning shoulder

肩头微移

She laid her snow-white hand

皓腕于侧

She bid me take life easy

嘱予素心

As the grass grows on the weirs

盈堤凝碧

But I was young and foolish

少不经事

And now am full of tears

泪满襟衣
