Daily Growing - Altan
The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green
树正高啊叶正茂
Many is the time my true love I've seen
心上人啊我常见
Many an hour I have watched him all alone
孤身人啊我常望
He's young but he's daily growing
少年郎啊日日长
Father, dear father
父亲啊父亲
you've done me great wrong
你铸大错
You have married me to a boy who is too young
把我嫁与那少年郎
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen
一个二十四啊一个仅十四
Daughter, dear daughter
女儿啊女儿
I have done you no wrong
我不曾错
I have married you to a great lords son
豪门之子可依傍
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone
我离去后是他伴你身旁
He's young but he's daily growing
可少年郎啊也在日日长
Father, dear father, if you see fit
父亲啊父亲若你觉尚妥
Well send him to college for another year yet
来年我们送他入大学
I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head
那蓝丝带啊在他额上环圈
To let the maidens know that he is married
周知妙龄少女他已履婚约
One day I was looking over my fathers castle wall
一日我远眺自父亲的城堡
I spied all the boys playing with a ball
窥见少年踢球吵吵闹闹
And my own true love was the flower of them all
我的真爱如鲜花熠熠闪耀
He's young but he's daily growing
他日日成长 尽管依旧年少
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day
那日正早啊晨曦正好
They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play
在干草堆他们嬉戏玩闹
And what they did there she never would declare
相爱之举 深藏心底 不愿言状
But she never more complained of his growing
但从此以后她不再怨他青涩飞扬
At the age of fourteen he was a married man
十四岁哟他已为人夫
At the age of fifteen the father of my son
十五岁呀他已为人父
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green
十六岁啊 墓前草茵 早已作古
And death had put an end to his growing
少年已故啊不再成长
I'll buy my love some flannel
买来法兰绒啊
I'll make my love a shroud
做我爱人寿衣
With every stitch I put in it
一针针啊
the tears they will pour down
我泪如泉涌
With every stitch I put in it
一线线啊
how the tears they will flow
泪密如针脚
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
命运残酷啊，少年故人，再不成长
