There's a little rosewood casket 有一个小的红木骨灰盒

Resting on a marble stand 搁在大理石底座

With a packet of old love letters 随着旧情书包

Written by my true love's hand 写的我的真爱的手

   

Go and bring them to me, sister 你去把他们给我妹妹

Read them o'er for me tonight 读他们的光彩今晚我

I have often tried by could not 我常常试图不住

For the tears that filled my eyes 对于充满了我眼里的泪

   

When I'm dead and in my casket 当我死了，我的棺材

When I gently fall asleep 当我轻轻地睡着了

Fall asleep to wake in heaven 入睡天上来唤醒

Dearest sister do not weep 我最亲爱的姐姐不要哭

   

Take his letters and his locket 以他的信和他的盒子

Place them gently on my heart 把它们轻轻地放在我的心脏

But this golden ring that he gave me 但这个金戒指，他给了我

From my finger never part 从我的手指永不分离

   

When I'm dead and in my casket 当我死了，我的棺材

When I gently fall asleep 当我轻轻地睡着了

Fall asleep to wake in heaven 入睡天上来唤醒

Dearest sister do not weep 我最亲爱的姐姐不要哭
