O mistress mine, where are you roaming?

O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,

That can sing both high and low;

Trip no further, pretty sweeting;

Journeys end in lovers meeting,

Every wise man's son doth know.

 

What is love? 'tis not hereafter;

Present mirth hath present laughter;

what's to come is still unsure:

In delay there lies no plenty;

Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,

Youth's a stuff will not endure.

 

你到哪兒去，啊我的姑娘？

聽呀，那邊來了妳的情郎，

嘴裡吟著抑揚的曲調。

不要再走了，美貌的親親；

戀人的相遇終結了行程，

每個聰明人全都知曉。

 

什麼是愛情？它不在明天；

歡笑嬉遊莫放過了眼前，

將來的事有誰能猜料？

不要蹉跎了大好的年華；

來吻著我吧，妳雙十嬌娃，

轉眼青春早化成衰老。
