When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find
我初到路易斯维尔的时候，在那里找到了一些乐趣
A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind
一个从列克星敦来的少女让我动容
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast
她玫瑰似的脸颊，红宝石般的嘴唇，像利箭一般射进我的胸膛
And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.
她的名字叫芙罗拉，西部的百合花
I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find
我向可爱的芙罗拉献出殷勤
But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind
但她选择了另一个男人，那个让我倍感压迫的男人
She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest
她剥夺了我的自由，抢去了我的休憩
Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
那就去吧，我可爱的芙罗拉，西部的百合花
Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree
在远处那片绿树成荫的林中，有一个身居高位的人
Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me
在那里和我的芙罗拉交谈，我觉得很奇怪
And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress
她给他的回答让我心痛
I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.
弗洛拉背叛了我，那朵西部的百合花
I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand
我手握匕首，冲向对手
I seized him by the collar, and bodly made him stand
抓住他的衣领和身体，迫使他站立在我面前
Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast
见他绝望得发疯，我刺穿了他的胸膛
All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
这一切都是为了可爱的芙罗拉，西部的百合花
I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea
我必须接受审判，我必须为自己辩护
They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me
他们把我放在证人席上，然后对我指手画脚
Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest
虽然她发誓要我赔命，夺去我的休息
Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the west.
但我依然爱我的不忠的芙罗拉，西部的百合花
