Ayo kalian semua anak muda
That handle a gun
Itu memegang pistol
Beware of night rambling
Waspadalah malam bertele-tele
By the setting of the sun
Dengan setting matahari
And beware of an accident
Dan waspadalah terhadap kecelakaan
That happened of late
Itu terjadi akhir-akhir ini
To young Molly Ban
Untuk Molly Ban muda
And sad was her fate
Dan sedih adalah takdirnya
She was going to her uncles
Dia pergi ke pamannya
When a shower came on
Saat mandi datang
She went under a green bush
Dia pergi di bawah semak hijau
The shower to shun
Kamar mandi untuk shun
Her white apron wrapped around her
Apron putihnya melilit tubuhnya
He took her for a swan
Dia membawanya untuk angsa
But a hush and sigh
Tapi diam dan mendesah
Was his own Molly Ban
Apakah Molly Ban miliknya sendiri?
He quickly ran to her
Dia cepat berlari ke arahnya
And found she was dead
Dan ternyata dia sudah meninggal
And there on her bosom
Dan ada di dadanya
Where he soaked, tears he shed
Dimana dia basah kuyup, air mata dia tumpah
He ran home to his father
Dia berlari pulang ke ayahnya
With his gun in his hand
Dengan pistol di tangannya
Saying “Father dear father
Mengatakan “Ayah terkasih
I have shot Molly Ban”
Saya telah menembak Molly Ban “
Her white apron wrapped around her
Apron putihnya melilit tubuhnya
He took her for a swan
Dia membawanya untuk angsa
But a hush and a sigh
Tapi diam dan mendesah
‘Twas his own Molly Ban
‘Twas sendiri Molly Ban
He roamed near the place
Dia berkeliaran di dekat tempat itu
Where his true love was slain
Dimana cinta sejatinya terbunuh
He wept bitter tears
Dia menangis tersedu-sedu
But his cries were in vain
Tapi tangisannya sia-sia belaka
As he look on the lake
Saat dia melihat ke danau
A swan glided by
Sebuah angsa melayang
And the sun slowly sank
Dan matahari perlahan tenggelam
In the gray up sky
Di langit abu-abu
