Of a girl who once lived in this land

She was known as the Blue Velvet Band

On her cheeks was the first flush of nature

她像是上帝用水做出来的

Her beauty it seemed to expand

Her hair hung down in long tresses

她梳着长辫子

Tied back with a blue velvet band

用蓝色丝绒带绑了起来

I can still see those tears as we parted

Of my heart broken blue velvet band

当我们分别时，我感觉自己心碎了，蓝色丝绒带

As I left her I told her

当我离开时，我告诉她

I＇ll never come back to my home again

我将一去不复返

Five years in the wide open spaces

我离乡背井已经五年了

Was all that my poor heart could stand

这已经是我可怜的心能承受的极限了

Every night as I lay on my pillow

每晚，当我躺下时

I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band

Then one night as I lay down dreaming

Of home and poor mother and dad

Like a flash by my bedside was standing

就像一道光一样照在我床边

The form of my Blue Velvet Band

I started next day for my darling

第二天，我开始启程

Just to go back and make her my bride

But as I reached the old country depot

但是，当我回到以前的国家时

They told me my sweetheart had died

Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land

On her finger was the ring I had bought her

On her head was a blue velvet band
