Monday Morning  by Peter,Paul & Mary

Early one mornin' one mornin' in spring 春日里的一个早晨
To hear the birds whistle the nightingales sing 听鸟儿在歌唱, 夜莺在啼叫
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing 我遇见一位年轻淑女在甜美快乐歌唱
I'm going to be married next Monday morning. 我就要出嫁在下周一早晨

How old are you my fair young maid, 你今年多大年轻的淑女
Here in this valley this valley so green 这山谷之中花草特别青翠
How old are you my fair young maid, 你今年多大年轻的淑女
I'm goin' to be sixteen next Monday mornin'. 我就年满16岁了在下周一早晨

Well sixteen years old, that's too young for to marry 16岁结婚为时太早
So take my advice, five years longer to tarry 听我一句再过5年还不迟
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin 婚姻会来麻烦,悲伤从此开始
So put off your wedding for Monday mornin'. 奉劝你把周一的婚期推迟

You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill 你说起话来像个无知的疯子
Three years I've been waiting against my own will 我已经违心等了整整三年
Now I'm determined to have my own way 现在我已下定决心
And I'm going to be married next Monday mornin' 我一定要成亲下周一早晨

And next Monday mornin' the bells they will ring 下周一早晨钟声将敲响
And my true love will buy me a gay gold ring 心上人带来的戒指金光闪亮
Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown 他还会捎上一件好看的婚娑礼服
To wear at my wedding next Monday mornin' 周一的婚礼我要把它穿起来

Next Monday night when I go to my bed 下周一晚当我走向婚床
And I turn round to the man that I've wed 回过身去面对我下嫁的新郎
Around his middle my two arms I will fling, 我把双臂拥向他的腰身
And I wish to my soul it was Monday mornin'. 衷心祈求此刻是周一早晨
