Last night as I lay dreaming昨夜梦回
of pleasant days gone by,那逝去的快乐时光
Me mind been bent on rambling,我的心绪在遥远的爱尔兰
to Ireland I did fly,恣意徜徉
I stepped on board a vision我迈步去追寻那景象
and followed with a will伴随着急切的渴望
Till next I came to anchor直到小镇的海港
at the cross near Spancill Hill.停泊在史班赛山
Delighted by the novelty,令我欣喜
enchanted with the scene,是那新鲜的风光
Where in me early boyhood - often I had been,在幼年时常留恋的地方
I thought I heard a murmur悉窣的耳语声回荡
and I think I hear it still我清晰地听到那熟悉的音响
It's the little stream of water那是流向史班赛山的溪水
that flows down Spancill Hill.在浅吟低唱
To amuse a passing fancy一时心血来潮
I lay down on the ground,我躺在青草地上
And all my school companions所有学校里的伙伴
they shortly gathered round倏然出现在我身旁
When we were home returning我们在回家的路上
we danced with bright goodwill,带着明亮又美好的梦想舞蹈
To Martin Moynahan's music 伴着乐曲Martin Monahan
at the cross at Spancill Hill.在史班赛山的路口飞扬
It was on the 24th of June,已经是六月二十三日
the day before the fair明天集市就要开场
When Ireland's sons and daughters爱尔兰的子女朋友
and all assembled there,在这里欢聚一堂
The young, the old, the brave, the bold无论年老年少，勇敢还是卤莽
came their duty to fulfil,他们虔诚地祷告
At the little church in Clooney,在地区的教堂里
a mile from Spancill Hill.史班赛山小镇旁
I went to see me neighbours穿过童年时的小路
to see what they might say,我把曾经的邻居探望
The old ones they were dead and gone,老人全都离去死亡
the young ones turning grey,年轻的人们正在衰老
I met the tailor Quigley, 我遇见裁缝Quigley
he was bold as ever still,他的卤莽一如既往
sure he used to make my britches是他为我缝制裤子和衣裳
when I lived at Spancill Hill.在史班赛山生活的日子里
I paid a flying visit 我飞奔到她家门口
to my first and only love,想到那初恋爱人啊
She's as fair as any lilly 她如百合花般纯洁
and gentle as a dove,像白鸽一样温柔
She threw her arms around me她的双臂环绕在我肩头
crying Johnny I love you still,”哦，johnny，我依然爱你．”她说
She was a farmer's daughter,她是农场主奈德的女儿
the pride of Spancill Hill.她是史班赛山的骄傲

Well I dreamt I hugged and kissed her我梦见我单膝跪地
as in the days of yore亲吻她如同往昔
She said Johnny you're only joking啊Johnny你不过是在玩笑
as many the times before,重复当年耍过的把戏
The cock crew in the morning,公鸡在清晨开始鸣叫
he crew both loud and shrill那叫声响亮而凄厉
And I awoke in California,我从加利福尼亚的床上惊醒
many miles from Spancill Hill.与史班赛山远隔数千英里
