I peeped 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

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

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 my town no scarlet ribbons 在我的家乡没有鲜红的丝带

Scarlet ribbons for her hair 大红缎带她的头发

   

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 peeped 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

I saw ribbons, scarlet ribbons 我看到了丝带，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
