I peeked in to say goodnight, ì偷看在说晚安，

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

"And for me some scarlet ribbons, “对我来说有些猩红色的彩带，

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

   

All the stores were closed and shuttered, 所有的商店被关闭，百叶窗，

All the streets were dark and bare . . . 所有的街道都是黑暗和光秃秃的。 。 。

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

Not one ribbon for her hair . . . 没有一个人带了她的头发。 。 。

   

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, 就在黎明被打破，

   

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

In gay profusion lying there, 在同性恋缤纷躺在那里，

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons, 可爱的丝带，鲜红的丝带，

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

   

If I live to be two hundred, 如果我活到200 ，

I will never know from where, 我永远都不会知道从什么地方，

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons, 来到那些可爱的猩红色的彩带，

Scarlet ribbons, for her hair! 大红缎带，她的头发！
