The water is wideConnie Dover
The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a mighty1 tree
But first it bent2, and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me
There is a ship that sails the sea
It's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, love is kind
Love is a jewel when it is new
But when it's old, it grows so cold
And fades away like morning dew
河水宽阔康妮多佛
河水宽阔，我没办法过河
我甚至也没飞翔的羽翼
给我一艘双人的小船
吾爱和我，将一块划桨渡河
背靠在一棵橡树上
我以为它是一棵强壮的树
但树身先是弯曲，然后折断
好似我的爱已证明是不真实的
一艘航向大海的船只
它极尽所能载满货物，吃水极深
却不像我陷溺其中的爱那样深
不了解我会沉下去还是悠游其中
噢，爱是漂亮的，爱是仁慈的
当爱仍新颖光鲜，它像珠宝一般
但当它老去，它会渐渐冰冷
然后，像朝露般消失无踪
