Kami bertemu satu malam musim panas
As the sun was going down
Saat matahari terbenam
She was lying on the beach
Dia terbaring di pantai
In her graduation gown
Dalam gaun kelulusannya
She was wrapped up in a blanket
Dia terbungkus selimut
(I could tell she knew her way around)
(Saya tahu dia tahu jalannya)
And as I lay down beside her
Dan saat aku berbaring di sampingnya
You know she never made a sound
Anda tahu dia tidak pernah membuat suara
On down the beach came the beach-cleaning man
Di tepi pantai ada orang yang membersihkan pantai
Scoopin’ up the papers and flattening down the sand
Scoopin ‘sampai kertas dan meratakan turun pasir
“Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda – we’ve got to run away
“Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda – kita harus melarikan diri
That big white truck is closin’ in
Truk putih besar itu ditutup
And we’ll get wounded if we stay”
Dan kita akan terluka jika kita tinggal “
Now Lucinda lies buried ‘neath the California sand
Sekarang Lucinda terkubur di pasir California
Put under by the beach-cleaning man
Letakkan di bawah oleh orang pembersih pantai
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda – why’d you have to go?
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda – kenapa kamu harus pergi?
They sent her to high school
Mereka mengirimnya ke SMA
They sent her to low school
Mereka mengirimnya ke sekolah rendah
She just wouldn’t go further
Dia tidak mau melangkah lebih jauh
