這是一首知名的蘇格蘭民謠,安妮蘿莉(Annie Laurie)是一個女孩的名字,1705年時正值豆蔻年華,與一位多情的少年威廉道格拉斯(William Douglas)墜入情網,熱戀中的威廉就以安妮蘿莉的名字寫了一首情詩送給她。寫於1705年,至今超過300年。 1835年,一位熱戀中的女孩愛莉西雅.安妮.史波提斯伍德(Alicia Anne Spottiswoode)發現了威廉道格拉斯寫的這首情詩,就將它譜了曲,一首動人的歌曲就因此誕生了。
Maxwelton's braes are bonnie,

Where early fa's the dew,

And it's there that Annie Laurie

Gave me her promise true.

Which ne'er forgot will be,

I'd lay me doon and dee.

Her brow is like the snawdrift,

Her throat is like the swan,
頸項天鵝般纖細
Her face it is the fairest,

That 'er the sun shone on.
陽光所曾映照

Like dew on the gowan lying,
露珠掛在小雛菊上
Is the fa' o' her fairy feet,
滑落仙子般小腳
And like winds in summer sighing,
如夏日微風嘆息
Her voice is low and sweet.
嗓音溫柔甜蜜
Her voice is low and sweet,
