My lover drifted down the river,
Kekasihku melayang menyusuri sungai,
Below the dark water,
Di bawah air yang gelap,
The devil all around.
Iblis di sekeliling.

Yesterday on the street,
Kemarin di jalan,
Someone called out your name,
Seseorang memanggil namamu,
Someone thought that you were me,
Seseorang mengira bahwa Anda adalah saya,
Last night there was a party,
Tadi malam ada pesta,
I could not go,
Saya tidak bisa pergi,
I walked around it,
Aku berjalan mengitarinya,
I thought about it,
Sudah saya pikirkan,
All night long,
Sepanjang malam,
Today there is a newspaper,
Hari ini ada koran,
About you and me,
Tentang Anda dan saya,
And the day we were married,
Dan pada hari kami menikah,
The same day.
Hari yang sama.

The same day they fell in love,
Pada hari yang sama mereka jatuh cinta,
The same day they died in love.
Pada hari yang sama mereka meninggal dalam kasih.

I did not want you to die alone,
Aku tidak ingin kau mati sendiri,
Rusty river run down,
Sungai Rusty mengalir turun,
Run, run as fast as you can, oh run,
Jalankan, jalankan secepat mungkin, oh lari,
Rusty river run ragged,
Sungai Rusty berlari compang-camping,
And drag my lover's self back to me,
Dan tarik kekasihku kembali padaku,
I'll meet him there,
Aku akan menemuinya di sana,
Water and air.
Air dan udara.

Oh to be at the bottom of a river,
Oh untuk berada di dasar sungai,
Below the dark water,
Di bawah air yang gelap,
The devil all around,
Iblis di sekeliling,
The devil all around.
Iblis di sekeliling.
