Oh the people would come from far away 哦，人会远道而来

They'd dance all night till the break of day 他们会整夜跳舞，直到破晓

When the caller hollered "do-se-do" 当来电者叫喊“做-SE -DO ”

You knew Uncle Pen was ready to go 你知道钢笔叔叔准备去

   

Late in the evening about sundown 尾盘约在日落黄昏

High on the hill and above the town 高高的山上，镇以上

Uncle Pen played the fiddle lord how it would ring 笔大叔扮演的小提琴主怎么会响

You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing 你可以听到它说话，你能听到它唱

   

He played an old piece he called "Soldier's Joy" 他打了一个老片，他所谓的“士兵的喜悦”

And the one called "The Boston Boy" 和一个叫“波士顿男孩”

The greatest of all was "Jenny Lynn" 最伟大的是“珍妮熊黛林”

To me that's where the fiddle begins 对我来说，那是小提琴开始的地方

   

I'll never forget that mournful day 我永远不会忘记那一天悲切

When Uncle Pen was called away 当钢笔叔叔叫走

They hung up his fiddle, they hung up his bow 他们挂了他的小提琴，就挂了他的弓

They knew it was time for him to go 他们知道，是时候让他走
