Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true,
珍重吧，我的挚爱
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.
天一亮，我就得启程
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
一路开往墨西哥
Or maybe the coast of Californ.
又或是加州海岸
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
愿你珍重，我的挚爱
We'll meet another day, another time.
某年某月，总会重逢
It ain't the leavin'
此去非永别
That's a-grievin' me
虽悲伤如我
But my Darling who's bound to stay behind.
但真爱为我等待
Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard诸般不顺，狂风呼呼直啸
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail.
雨点也变成冰雹
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west,幸运的话，或许汽车还能开往西去的公路
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail.
尽管如今路难行
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
愿你保重，我的挚爱
We'll meet another day, another time.
某月某日，总会重遇
It ain't the leavin'
此去非永别
That's a-grievin' me
虽情凄意切
But my draling who's bound to stay behind.
但真爱会为我等待
