Many a year ago 许多年前

In a kingdom by the sea 在海边的王国里

There lived a maiden you may know 住着一位少女你可能知道

By the name of Annabelle Lee 由安娜贝尔李名

No other thought did trouble her mind 没有其他的想法确实麻烦她的心

But to love and be loved by me 但爱和我所爱

   

We were children both 我们是两个孩子

In this kingdom by the sea 在这个海边的王国里

But we loved with a love that was more than love 但是，我们喜欢和爱，这是爱多

I and my Annabelle Lee 我和我的安娜贝尔李

With a love that the winged angels high 有爱的翼天使高

Coveted her and me 觊觎她和我

   

This was the reason long ago 这是因为早已

In this kingdom by the sea 在这个海边的王国里

A wind blew from a stormy cloud 从暴风雨云风吹

That took my Annabelle Lee 这花了我的安娜贝尔李

Then her wicked brothers came 然后她邪恶的兄弟来了

To steal her away from me 偷她离我而去

   

They shut her up in a tomb below 他们把她关在古墓下方

This kingdom by the sea 这海边的王国里

But no maiden’s grave could sever my soul 但是，没有少女的坟墓也断绝了我的灵魂

From the love she bore for me 从她生了我的爱

For the moon don’t beam without a dream 月亮不要束无梦

Of my darling Annabelle Lee 我亲爱的安娜贝尔李

   

For many years I’ve wandered 多年来，我一直逛到

Through this kingdom by the sea 通过这个滨海的国度里

I’ve laid myself beside the bones 我已经奠定了自己的骨头旁

Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee 我美丽的安娜贝尔李

I’ll make my bed near the rising tide 我会让我的床附近上涨的潮水

In her tomb by the sounding sea 在她的墓被探测海
