（歌词翻译：武太白）

I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

And I’m goin’ to Louisiana, my true love for to see

It rained all night before I left, the weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don’t you cry

我从阿拉巴马来，弹着班卓琴

我要去路易斯安那，去见我的真爱

动身前整整下了一夜雨，当天却是干爽天

太阳大，我却冷得要死，苏珊娜，你别哭

Chorus:

Oh! Susanna Oh don’t you cry for me

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

（和声/反复：）

哦！苏珊娜，你不要为我哭泣

我从阿拉巴马来，弹着班卓琴

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna a coming down the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

Says I, I’m coming from the South, Susanna don’t you cry

前两天晚上我做了个梦，一切都静止不动

我好像看见苏珊娜从山上下来

嘴里吃着荞麦饼

眼里有泪水

她说，我从南方来，苏珊娜不要哭

I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I’ll look around

And when I find Susanna, I’ll fall upon the ground

But if I do not find her, then I will surely die

And when I’m dead and buried, Susanna don’t you cry

我很快会到新奥尔良，然后会四处找

等我找到苏珊娜，我就倒在地上

如果我找不到她，我会离开人世

等我死了、埋了，苏珊娜不要哭

------------------------

这首儿歌历史悠久，创作时间很早，所以里面有不少并不符合现代英语语法的成分，这里试举几例：

1、my true love for to see= to see my true love

2、the weather it was dry= the weather, it was dry

3、The sun so hot= The sun was so hot

4、Susanna don't you cry= Susanna, don't cry

5、I saw Susanna a coming= I saw Susanna coming

所以，学会唱就好，不要纠结。
