It was upon a Lammas night
When corn rigs are lovely
Beneath the Moon's unclouded light
I held away to Annie
The time flew by, with careless heed
‘Till, between the dark and dawn
With small persuasion she agreed
To see me thro' the barley
To see me thro' the barley
The sky was blue, the wind was still
The Moon was shining clearly
I set her down, with right good will
Among the rigs of barley
Among the rigs o' barley
I knew her heart was all my own
I loved her most sincerely
I kissed her over and over again
Among the rigs of barley
Among the rigs of barley
But by the Moon and stars so bright
That shone that hour so clearly!
She aye shall bless that happy night
Among the rigs o' barley
Among the rigs o' barley
I have been blythe with comrades dear
I have been merry drinkin’
I have been joyfull gatherin money
I have been happy thinkin’
But all the pleasures ever I saw
Tho' three times doubled fairly
That happy night was worth them all
Among the rigs of barley
Among the rigs of barley
Era uma noite de Lammas
Quando as plataformas de milho são adoráveis
Sob a luz sem nuvens da lua
Eu segurei Annie
O tempo voou, com atenção descuidada
Até, entre a escuridão e o amanhecer
Com pouca persuasão ela concordou
Para me ver através da cevada
Para me ver através da cevada
O céu estava azul, o vento estava parado
A lua estava brilhando claramente
Eu a coloco no chão, com boa vontade
Entre as torres de cevada
Entre as torres de cevada
Eu sabia que o coração dela era todo meu
Eu a amei com muita sinceridade
Eu a beijei uma e outra vez
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Mas pela lua e estrelas tão brilhantes
Aquela hora brilhou tão claramente!
Ela sim abençoará aquela noite feliz
Entre as torres de cevada
Entre as torres de cevada
Tenho sido alegre com queridos camaradas;
Eu tenho bebido feliz
Tenho estado feliz juntando dinheiro
Tenho sido feliz pensando
Mas todos os prazeres que já vi
Três vezes dobrou bastante
Aquela noite feliz valeu a pena todos eles
Entre as plataformas de cevada
Entre as plataformas de cevada
