Open the Door to Me, Oh!
Oh, open the door, some pity to shew*,
Oh, open the door to me, oh!
Tho’ thou hast been false, I’ll ever prove true,
Oh, open the door to me, oh!
Cauld* is the blast upon my pale cheek,
But caulder thy love for me, oh!
The frost that freezes the life at my heart,
Is nought* to my pains fra* thee,oh!
The wan moon is setting behind the white wave,
And time is setting with me, oh!
False friends, false love, farewell!for mair*
I’ll ne’er trouble them, nor thee, oh!
She has open’d the door, she has open’d it wide；
She sees his palecorse* on the plain, oh!
My true love! she cried, and sank down by his side,
Never to rise again, oh!
shew*, show
Cauld* cold
nought*nothing
fra*from
mair*more
corse* corpse
開門呵
開門呵，請為我開門，
求妳給我些許憐惜！
開門呵，請為我開門，
我永遠不會揭穿妳的虛情假意！
冷風抽打我蒼白的面頰，
呵，可妳的.愛更令人不寒而栗！
冰霜將我的壹顆心凍死，
呵，也無法與妳給我的痛苦相比！
昏暗的太陽墜入白色的浪花，
呵，我的生命也將歸於沈寂！
再見吧，虛假的朋友虛假的愛，
呵，我決不再打擾他們打擾妳！
她把門輕啟，她把門敞開，
呵，她看見他躺在原野上的屍體！
哭喊著“我的真愛”在他身旁暈倒，
呵，她再也沒有重新站起！
