I peeked in to say goodnight ì偷看在说晚安

And then I heard my child in prayer 然后，我听到了我的孩子祈祷

Send for me some scarlet ribbons 送我一些鲜红的丝带

Scarlet ribbons for my hair. 大红缎带的我的头发。

   

All the stores were locked and shuttered 所有的商店都上锁，关门

All the streets were dark and bare 所有的街道都是黑暗和裸

In our town no scarlet ribbons 在我们的城市没有鲜红的丝带

No scarlet ribbons for her hair. 没有鲜红的丝带在她的头发。

   

Through the night my heart was aching 经过一夜我的心脏隐隐作痛

Just before the dawn was breaking. 之前就在黎明打破。

   

I peeked in and on her bed í在偷看，并在她的床上

In gay profusion laying there 在同性恋缤纷铺设有

Scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons 大红缎带，缎带猩红

Pretty scarlet ribbons for her hair. 漂亮的鲜红的丝带，她的头发。

   

If I live to be a hundred 如果我活到一百岁

I will never know from where 我永远都不会知道从那里

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons 来到那些可爱的猩红色丝带

Scarlet ribbons for her hair... 大红缎带她的头发...
