They call me The Wild Rose【他们都称呼我叫“野玫瑰”】
But my name was Elisa Day【可我的名字是“Elisa Day”】
Why they call me it I do not know【我不知道他们为什么这么称呼我】
For my name was Elisa Day【因为我的名字就是“Elisa Day”】
[Nick Cave]
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one【从看到她的第一天，我（就）知道她是我要找的人】
She stared in my eyes and smiled【她直勾勾地看着我的双眼，面带微笑】
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild【她的双唇绽放出玫瑰的色彩，就是那种沿着河岸生长的玫瑰，殷（yān）红中散发着野性】
[Kylie Minogue]
When he knocked on my door and entered the room【他敲响我的房门，步入（我的）房间】
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace【此刻，我（那颗激动地）颤抖的心陷入在他那结实的拥抱中】
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face【（我知道）他将是我第一个男人，他用手小心翼翼地拭去我脸上流溢着激动之情的泪水】
They call me The Wild Rose【他们都称呼我叫“野玫瑰”】
But my name was Elisa Day【可我的名字是“Elisa Day”】
Why they call me it I do not know【我不知道他们为什么这么称呼我】
For my name was Elisa Day【因为我的名字就是“Elisa Day”】

On the second day I brought her a flower【第二天，我送给她一朵花】（译者按：这朵花应该便是野玫瑰）
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen【（那天）她比我曾见过的所有女人都美】
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"【我说：“你知道哪儿的野玫瑰会绽放地如此芳香、鲜红和恣意吗？”】
[Kylie Minogue]
On the second day he came with a single red rose【第二天，他给我带来了一支红玫瑰】
Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"【说道：“你愿意给我你的失意与悲伤吗？”】
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed【我点了点头，（慢慢地）躺在了床上】
He said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"【他说：“如果我带你去看看那儿的玫瑰，你愿意来吗？”】
They call me The Wild Rose【他们都称呼我叫“野玫瑰”】
But my name was Elisa Day【可我的名字是“Elisa Day”】
Why they call me that I do not know【我不知道他们为什么这么称呼我】
For my name was Elisa Day【因为我的名字就是“Elisa Day”】
[Kylie Minogue]
On the third day he took me to the river【第三天，他带我来到了河边】
He showed me the roses and we kissed【他给我看了那儿的玫瑰，在那，我们互相亲吻着对方】
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist【最后，就在他（面带微笑）用拳头攥起的石块向我击打时，我听到了一阵喃喃自语】
[Nick Cave]
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow【最后一天，我带她来到长着野玫瑰的地方】
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief【她躺在河岸上，风，宛如盗贼般，蹑手蹑脚地吹过】
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"【我向她吻别，说道：“所有的美都必须亡结”】
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth【我将她放下，在她那（洁白）的牙齿间种下了一朵玫瑰】
They call me The Wild Rose【他们都称呼我叫“野玫瑰”】
But my name was Elisa Day【可我的名字是“Elisa Day”】
Why they call me it I do not know【我不知道他们为什么这么称呼我】
For my name was Elisa Day【因为我的名字就是“Elisa Day”】
my name was Elisa Day【我的名字是“Elisa Day”】
For my name was Elisa Day【因为我的名字就是“Elisa Day”】
