The Yellow Rose of Texas

（アメリカ民謡） 

There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see,
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part.  

テキサスの黄色いバラに、おいらは会いに行く
みんな彼女を好きだけど、おいらの半分にも足らねえ
おいらが去るとき彼女が泣いて、胸が張り裂けたぜ
もっと早く会ってたら、離れられなかったぜ 

コーラス

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

彼女はテキサスが生んだ、最高に甘いバラのつぼみだぜ
目はダイアモンド、露のようにキラリと光る
おまえ達がクレメンタインだの、ロザリーだの、語ろうと歌おうと
テキサスの黄色いバラはおいらのもの 

コーラス

When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night:
I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago,
I promise to return again, and not to leave her so.

リオ・グランデ川が潤うとき、満天に星は輝き
静かな夏の夜に、彼女は川べりを歩いている
彼女は、別れた昔を思ってるだろう
おいらは必ず戻る、もうそんな思いをさせないぜ

コーラス

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

彼女はテキサスが生んだ、最高に甘いつぼみだぜ
目はダイアモンド、露のようにキラリと光る
おまえ達がクレメンタインだの、ロザリーだの、語ろうと歌おうと
テキサスの黄色いバラはおいらのもの 

コーラス

Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago
We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.

さー、彼女を探しに行こう、おいらのハートは悲しみでいっぱい
一緒に歌を唄おう、むかし唄ったあの歌を
陽気にバンジョーを引こうぜ、おまえの歌を聞かせるぜ
テキサスの黄色いバラは永遠においらのもの 

コーラス

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

彼女はテキサスが生んだ、最高に甘いつぼみだぜ
目はダイアモンド、露のようにキラリと光る
おまえ達がクレメンタインだの、ロザリーだの、語ろうと歌おうと
テキサスの黄色いバラはおいらのもの
