She was a flower for the takin' 她是一朵花的羚牛

Her beauty cut just like a knife 她的美削减就像一把刀

And he was a banker from Macon 他是从梅肯银行家

He swore he'd love her all a his life 他发誓他会爱她的全部他的生活

   

He bought her a mansion on the mountain 他为她买了豪宅在山上

With a formal garden and a lot of land 有了一个正式的花园和大量的土地

But paradise became her prison 但天堂成了她的监狱

That Georgia banker was a jealous man 格鲁吉亚银行家是一个嫉妒的人

   

Every time he'd talk about her 每次他会谈论她

You could see the fire in his eyes 你可以看到火在他的眼中

He'd say, "I would walk through hell on Sunday 他会说， “我会走过地狱星期日

To keep my rose in paradise" 为了让我的玫瑰天堂“

   

He hired a man to tend the garden 他雇了一个人往往花园

And keep an eye on her while he was gone 并密切注视她，而他已经走了

Some say they ran away together 有人说，他们就跑了起来

Some say the gardener left alone 有人说，园丁独处

   

Now the banker is an old man 现在，庄家是一个老男人

And the mansion's crumbling down 而豪宅的崩溃下来

He sits all day and stares at the garden 他坐了一整天，盯着花园

Not a trace of her was ever found 没有一丝她也没有发现

You could see the fire in his eyes 你可以看到火在他的眼中

He'd say, "I would walk through hell on Sunday 他会说， “我会走过地狱星期日

To keep my rose in paradise" 为了让我的玫瑰天堂“

   

Now there's a rose out in the garden 现在有一个玫瑰在花园里

And blooms in the dead of the night 而在夜深人静的花朵
