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 mighty tree
But first it bent, 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，我无法过河
我甚至也没有飞翔的羽翼
给我一艘双人的小船
吾爱和我，将一起划桨渡河

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
如同我的爱已证明是虚假的

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
不知道我会沉下去还是悠游其中

噢，爱是美丽的，爱是仁慈的
当爱仍新颖光鲜，它像珠宝一般
但当它老去，它会逐渐冰冷
然后，像朝露般消失无踪

这是首耳熟能详的美国民歌，但它是源自于一首传统苏格兰民谣" The Douglas Tragedy 道格拉斯的悲剧 "。
