Cintaku yang muda berkata kepadaku:
“My father won't mind
“Ayahku tidak akan keberatan
And my mother won't cite you
Dan ibuku tidak akan mengutipmu
for your lack of kind.”
untuk kekuranganmu. “
Then she drew closer to me
Lalu dia mendekatiku
and this she did say:
dan ini dia bilang:
“It will not be long, long, love
“Tidak akan lama, lama, cinta
'till our wedding day.”
“Sampai hari pernikahan kita.”
She stepped away from me,
Dia melangkah menjauh dariku,
and She Moved Through the Fair
dan Dia Bergerak Melalui Pameran
And fondly I watched her
Dan sayang aku mengawasinya
move here and move there
pindah kesini dan pindah kesana
And then she went homeward
Lalu dia pulang ke rumah
with one star awake
dengan satu bintang terjaga
As the swan in the evening, the evening
Seperti angsa di malam hari, malam hari
moves over the lake
bergerak di atas danau
Last night she came to me
Tadi malam dia mendatangi saya
she came softly in,
dia masuk dengan lembut,
So softly she came
Begitu lembut dia datang
that her feet made no din
bahwa kakinya tidak berdengung
And she laid her hand on me,
Dan dia meletakkan tangannya pada saya,
and this she did say”
dan ini dia bilang “
“It will not be long, long, love
“Tidak akan lama, lama, cinta
'till our wedding day.”
“Sampai hari pernikahan kita.”
