It was many and many a year ago,

很久很久以前，

In a kingdom by the sea,

在海邊的一個王國里，

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

住著一位少女

By the name of Annabel Lee;

名叫安娜貝爾·麗;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

這少女滿心想著一件事

Than to love and be loved by me.

就是全身心地愛著我，也希望我對她付出真情實意。

She was a child and I was a child

她還是個孩童，我，也是個孩童

In this kindom by the sea,

我們就居住在這海邊的王國里

But we loved with a love that was more than love---

我們彼此相愛，但我們的愛呀，早已升華---

I and my Annabel Lee---

我和我的安娜貝爾·麗---

With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven

我和她的這份愛情，連七翼天使

Coveted her and me.

都在惦記，覬覦想把它獲去。

And this was the reason that, long ago,

正因為如此，就在很久以前，

In this kingdom by the sea.

在這海邊的王國里

A wind blew out of a cloud by night

一陣大風從暗夜的云朵里

Chilling my Annabel Lee;

將我的安娜貝爾·麗猛然吹襲;

So that her highborn kinsmen came

結(jié)果，她出身高貴的家人們來臨

And bore her away from me,

把她從我的身邊掠走，

To shut her up in a sepulcher

將她置入墳冢

In this kingdom by the sea.

掩埋在這海邊的王國里。

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

天上的天使們歡騰快樂，

Went envying her and me:---

他們是對我們的愛情產(chǎn)生妒忌：---

Yes! That was the reason (as all men know In this kingdom by the sea),

是的!這就是為什么(如人所共知，在這海邊的王國里)

That the wind came out of the cloud, chilling

那陣風從夜晚的云朵里猛吹過來，吹襲了

And killing my Annabel Lee.

也害了我的安娜貝爾·麗。

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

但我們的愛，與年長我們的相比

Of those who were older than we---

來得更熱烈---

Of many far wiser than we---

與更聰明的人的相比，來得更美麗

And neither the angels in Heaven above

縱然天上的天使

Nor the demons down under the sea,

抑或海底的惡魔，

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

都不能將我們倆的靈魂分離

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;---

我與我美麗的安娜貝爾·麗;---

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

因為，每天夜里，月亮都會照亮我的夢

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

照亮夢中美麗的安娜貝爾·麗

And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes

星光們也永不失約，一直陪伴著我，讓我看到她明亮的眼睛

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

我美麗的安娜貝爾·麗

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

于是，在每個潮起潮落的夜晚，我就躺在她的身邊

Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,

躺在我的愛人，我的愛人，我的生命，我的新娘身邊，

In her sepulcher there by the sea---

躺在海邊她的墳冢旁

In her tomb by the side of the sea.

守衛(wèi)著她的這塊美麗的墓地。
