Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
在莎莉花園深處，吾愛與我曾經相遇。（快樂英語屋：www.ahnnh.com
）

她雪白的小腳越莎莉花園。

她囑咐我要愛得輕松，當新葉在枝椏萌芽。

但我當年年幼無知，不予輕率茍同。

在河邊的田野，吾愛與我曾經駐足。

她依靠在我的肩膀，以雪白的小手。

她囑咐我要活得輕松，當青草在堤岸滋長。

但我當年年幼無知，而今熱淚盈眶。
