Orange Blossom Ring

Orange Blossom Ring

橙色花戒

I loved a man so kind and sweet
And every night we used to meet
He gave to me my orange blossom ring.
He got in trouble down in town
The deputy sheriff shot him down
I wore his golden orange blossom ring.

'Twas on the night we were to wed
I got the news that he was dead
I thought of his orange blossom ring.
I drove to the place where he did lay
The last word that I heard him say
O' put away that orange blossom ring.

I would not have you live a life
Of loneliness and tears and strife
So put away my orange blossom ring.
Just because I'm dead and gone
I would not see you live alone
And dwell alone with an orange blossom ring.

Another lover I did meet
We're married now with children sweet
He gave to me an orange blossom ring.
Down through these years that we've been wed
I've never to my husband said
This is my second orange blossom ring.


我曾爱过一位善良甜蜜的男人，
每个夜晚我们都曾见面，
他送给我一枚橙色花戒。
他在镇上遇到了纠纷，
郡治安官向他开了枪，
我戴着他送我的橙色花戒。

就在我们即将结婚的夜晚，
我收到了他死去的消息，
我想念着他的橙色花戒。
我赶到了他倒下的地方，
他对我说出了最后的遗言：
哦，扔了那枚我送你的戒指吧…

我把戒指藏了起来，
因为我不能过着没有你的生活，
终日与孤独、泪水和内心的斗争为伴。
只有当我死亡并离开了这个世界，
我才不会再挂念在另一个世界孤独生活的你，
我独自在存放戒指的地方踌躇着…

我遇到了我的另一位爱人，
我们和孩子一起过着甜蜜的生活。
他送给我一枚橙色花戒。
我们已结婚多年，
我却从未对我的丈夫提到过，
这是我的第二枚橙色花戒…
