In a cavern down by a canyon

Didalam gua dibawah sebuah ngarai

Excavatin' for a mine

Di sebuah pertambangan

A-there lived a miner from North Carolina

Hiduplah seorang penambang dari Carolina Utara

And his daughter chubby Clementine

Dan putrinya, si gemuk Clementine

N'every mornin', hey just about dawnin'

Kini setiap pagi, ketika terbit fajar

A'when the sun BEGAN to shine

Ketika mentari mulai bersinar

You know she would rouse up wake all a them cows up

Kau tahu Ia akan bangun, lalu membangunkan semua sapi-sapi

And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine

Dan mengantarkan sapi-sapi itu ke pertambangan ayahnya

She took the foot bridge way 'cross the water

Melewati jembatan, menyeberangi perairan

Though she weighed two-ninety nine

Meskipun beratnya 299

The old bridge trembled and disassembled

Jembatan tua itu bergetar dan roboh

(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine

[Ups!] Ia tercebur kedalam air laut

Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) you know she went under

Hey, gemericiknya seperti suara guntur, [ho, ho] Ia tenggelam semakin dalam

(ho, ho) blowin bubbles down the line

[Ho,ho] Mengeluarkan gelembung, dari dasar air

Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a

Hey, Aku tak bisa berenang tapi kalau saja dia langsing

I might'a saved that Clementine

Mungkin aku bisa menolong Clementine

(Hey) broke the record way under water

[Ho] memecahkan rekor, merangkak dibawah air

I thought that she was doin' fine

Aku pikir dia melakukannya dengan baik

I wasn't nervous until the service

Aku tidak gugup hingga saat itu

That they held for Clementine

Mereka menolong Clementine

Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler

Hey kau pelaut! [ho, ho] cepat keluar dari kapalmu

With a harpoon your trusty line

Dengan sebuah tombak, tancapkan dengan kuat

If she shows now, yeah, there she blows now

Jika dia timbul ke permukaan, dia akan menghempas

It just may be chunky Clementine

Dialah Clementine yang gemuk

(One more time)

(Sekali lagi)

Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'

Oh sayangku, oh sayangku, oh sayangku

Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine

Oh sayangku, oh sayangku, Clementine yang manis

You may be gone

Kau mungkin hilang

But!

Tetapi!

You're not forgotten,

Kau tak dilupakan

Fare thee well

Selamat tinggal

So long Clementine

Sudah lama sekali, Clementine

Bye!

Selamat tinggal!
