Old Folks at Home

Old Folks at Home - Douglas Jimerson

Way down upon the swanee river

斯旺尼河上游

Far far away

很远很远的地方

That's where my heart is turning ever

是我一直以来的心之所向

That's where the old folks stay

那是我家中亲人所在的地方

All up and down the whole creation

在广袤的天地之中

Sadly i roam

我悲伤地漫步

Still longing for the old plantation

仍然怀想着老种植园

And for the old folks at home

想念着家中的亲人们

All the world is sad and dreary everywhere i roam

我总觉着这世界是如此悲伤阴沉

Oh lordy how my heart grows weary

为何我总是心生疲惫

Far from the old folks at home

无论我漫游何处

All round the little farm i wandered

我围着小小的农场闲逛

When i was young

在我的小时候

Then many happy days i squandered

我度过了很多愉快的时光

Many the songs i sung

我唱了很多歌

When i was playing with my brother

当我和我的哥哥一起玩耍的时候

Happy was i

我是那么开心

Oh take me to my kind old mother

把我带回到我慈祥的老母亲身边吧

There let me live and die

让我在她身边生活死去吧

All the world is sad and dreary everywhere i roam

我总觉着这世界是如此悲伤阴沉

Oh lordy how my heart grows weary

为何我总是心生疲惫

Far from the old folks at home

无论我漫游何处

One little hut among the bushes

灌木丛中的一个小屋

One that i love

我最爱的地方

Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes

我还是会感到伤心

No matter where i rove

无论我的记忆如何流淌

When will i see the bees a humming

无论我漂泊到何处

All round the comb

到处都围着蜜蜂

When will i hear the banjo strumming

当我听见班卓琴的声响

Down by my good old home

从我美好的故乡飘来

All the world is sad and dreary everywhere i roam

我总觉着这世界是如此悲伤阴沉

Oh lordy how my heart grows weary

为何我总是心生疲惫

Far from the old folks at home

无论我漫游何处
