She had the grace of a dancer, Pretty as the morning sun, Her days were filled with laughter, And when sixteen years had come, She went to work in the old house, And there she met her love, But he, the son, was high-born, and she, a village girl;

Она обладала изяществом танцовщицы, Была прекрасна, словно восходящее солнце. Ее дни были наполнены смехом, Когда ей исполнилось шестнадцать, Она отправилась работать в старое поместье, И повстречала там свою любовь. Но он был сыном знати, а она — деревенской девчонкой.

2

They met at night by the river, and there he pledged his love, And so it was for the summer, but by winter, all was done, For the word was out in the village that she would have his child, And the night before she left him, These words were in his heart, When she said, "Love is all that we have, It is forever, Love is all that we need, to be together, Love is all that this world has to share, Only love Can take us there;"

Они встретились ночью у реки, и он поклялся любить ее, Эта история случилась летом, но к зиме все было кончено. В деревне ходили слухи, что она ждет от него ребенка. И за ночь до того, как она ушла, Ему запомнились эти слова. Тогда она сказала: «Любовь — это все, что у нас есть, Она вечна. Любовь — это все, что нам нужно, чтобы быть вместе. Любовь — это все, на чем держится этот мир. Только любовь Поможет нам воссоединиться».

3

They found her clothes by the river, of her there was no trace, And for many years he mourned her, haunted by her face, So he set off over the ocean, these memories to escape, But the ship he sailed was ill-starred, And soon would meet its fate;

Ее одежду нашли у реки, ее след исчез, Много лет он оплакивал ее, ему всюду мерещилось ее лицо. Чтобы забыться, он отправился в плавание, Но его кораблю не повезло, И вскоре судьба шхуны была решена.

4

They struck the rocks at midnight, in the grip of a roaring storm, And he found himself in the water with a woman and a boy, With a power that was more than human, He brought them to the shore,

В полночь, в разгар шторма, корабль разбился о скалы. Он оказался в воде, рядом с ним были женщина и ребенок. Приложив нечеловеческие усилия, Он вытащил их на берег.

5

And her whisper in the darkness was a voice he'd heard before, When she'd said, "Love is all that we have, It is forever, Love is all that we need, to be together, Love is all that this world has to share, Only love can take us there;" She had the grace of a dancer, And the father of her son.

Ее шепот во тьме напоминал голос, что он слышал так давно. Тогда она сказала: «Любовь- это все, что у нас есть, Она вечна. Любовь — это все, что нам нужно, чтобы быть вместе. Любовь — это все, на чем держится этот мир. Только любовь поможет нам воссоединиться». У неё было изящество танцовщицы, И отец ее сына.
