I peeked in to say good night ì偷看在说晚安

When I heard my child in prayer 当我听到我的孩子祈祷

And for me, some scarlet ribbons 对我来说，有些猩红色丝带

Scarlet ribbons for my hair 大红缎带我的头发

   

All the stores were closed and shuttered 所有的商店都关闭，倒闭

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

Not one ribbon for her hair 没有一个人带她的头发

   

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 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

   

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