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!
