《The Water Is Wide》的中文歌詞如下：
The water is wide, where I would cross to thee
It is far, where, O, my lover dwelleth
But a small river to cross with thee
To be near thee, my own dear one
Will you love me, will you love me?
Say you'll come with me now and then
Now and then forevermore
If you'll only say you will be mine
The water is wide and very deep
And so my heart for thee has overflowed
For thee, my own dear one
Bridge:
O how often have I crossed on the sand
To the other side, where my heart is bound
But now I'm coming over the sand
To be with you, my own dear one
The water is wide and very deep
But I'll cross over it yet, my dear
I'll cross over it and I'll meet you there
When the river gets no wider.
