I had myself a true love 我自己是一个真正的爱情

A true love who was something to see 真正的爱情是谁看到的东西

I had myself a true love 我自己是一个真正的爱情

At least that's what I kept on telling me 至少，这就是我一直在告诉我

The first thing in the morning 在早上的第一件事

I still try to think of a way to be with him 我还是尽量想办法和他在一起

Some part of the evening 晚上的某些部分

And that's the way I live through the day 就这样，我度过了一天的路

   

I had myself a true love, but now he's gone 我自己是一个真正的爱情，但现在他走了

And left me for good 并给我留下了很好的

The Lord knows I've done heard those back yard 主知道我做的那些听到后院

Whispers going 'round the neighborhood 私语去轮附近

There maybe a lot of things I miss 也许有很多事情我想念

A lot of things I don't know 很多事情我不知道

But I do know this, now I ain't got no love 但我知道这一点，现在我没有得到任何的爱

And once upon a time I had a true love 而曾几何时，我有一个真正的爱情

In the evening, in the doorway 到了晚上，在门口

While I stand there and wait for his coming 当我站在那里，等待他的到来

With the house swept and the clothes hung, 与房子打扫干净，衣服挂，

In a pot on the stove there's a hot meal 在炉子上的锅里有热饭

Where is he while I waste the rising newel? 他在哪里，而我浪费了上升墩？

Where is he? Why'd he gone so soon? 他在哪里？为什么他这么快就不见了？

Now there ain't no way that it used to be, what now? 现在不是没有办法，它曾经是，现在该怎么办？

And everybody keeps telling me 每个人都不断告诉我

There are may be a lot of things I miss 有可能是很多事情我想念

A lot of things I don't know 很多事情我不知道

But I do know this now... 但我现在知道这...

I ain't got no love 我没有得到任何的爱

And once upon a time I had a true love. 而曾几何时，我有一个真正的爱情。
