**Leadbelly's version**

Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight,
Irene, selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam,
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene,
Selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam, Irene,
I'll get you in my dreams
Aku akan menemui kamu dalam mimpiku
I asked your mother for you
Aku tanya ibumu tentang kamu
(What'd she tell him?)
(Apa kata dia?)
She told me that you was too young
Dia bilang kamu masih terlalu muda
(She's 18 years old)
(Dia sudah 18 tahun)
I wish the lord that I'd never seen your face
Seandainya Tuhan, aku tidak pernah melihat wajahmu
I'm sorry you ever was born
Maafkan aku karena kamu pernah lahir
(It broke his heart!)
(Itu menghancurkan hatinya!)
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight,
Irene, selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam,
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene,
Selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam, Irene,
I'll get you in my dreams
Aku akan menemui kamu dalam mimpiku
Sometimes I live in the country,
Kadang aku tinggal di pedesaan,
Sometimes I live in town,
Kadang aku tinggal di kota,
Sometimes I have a great notion;
Kadang aku punya pikiran gila;
Jumpin' in into the river and drown
Melompat ke sungai dan tenggelam
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight
Irene, selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
Selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam, Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
Aku akan menemui kamu dalam mimpiku
Stop ramblin', and stop gamblin',
Berhenti mengembara, dan berhenti berjudi,
Quit stayin' out late at night
Berhenti begadang sampai larut malam
(What are ya gonna do?)
(Apa yang akan kamu lakukan?)
Go home to your wife and your family
Pulanglah ke istri dan keluargamu
(Where you oughta be,)
(Di tempat yang seharusnya kamu berada,)
And sit down out by the fireside bright
Dan duduklah di samping api yang hangat
(And people come at night)
(Dan orang-orang datang di malam hari)
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight,
Irene, selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam,
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene,
Selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam, Irene,
I'll get you in my dreams
Aku akan menemui kamu dalam mimpiku
I love Irene, god knows I do
Aku mencintai Irene, Tuhan tahu aku melakukannya
(Too late)
(Terlambat)
Love her until the sea run dry
Mencintainya sampai lautan kering
If Irene turns her back on me
Jika Irene berpaling dariku
(Whatcha gonna do?)
(Apa yang akan kamu lakukan?)
I'm gonna take a morphine and die
Aku akan minum morfin dan mati
(She said, "go ahead and kill yourself then!")
(Dia bilang, "silakan bunuh dirimu saja!")
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight,
Irene, selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam,
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene,
Selamat malam, Irene, selamat malam, Irene,
I'll get you in my dreams
Aku akan menemui kamu dalam mimpiku

**The Weavers' Version**

The very last words that I heard her say,
Kata-kata terakhir yang aku dengar darinya,
Was "please sing me one more song"
Adalah "tolong nyanyikan satu lagu lagi untukku"
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight,
Irene selamat malam, Irene selamat malam,
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
Selamat malam Irene, Selamat malam Irene,
I'll see you in my dreams
Aku akan melihatmu dalam mimpiku
Last saturday night, I got married
Malam sabtu lalu, aku menikah
Me and my wife settled down
Aku dan istriku menetap
Now me and my wife are parted
Sekarang aku dan istriku terpisah
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Aku akan berjalan-jalan lagi di pusat kota
Stop rambling, stop your rambling,
Berhenti mengembara, berhenti mengembara,
Stop staying out late at night
Berhenti begadang sampai larut malam
Go home to your wife and family
Pulanglah ke istri dan keluargamu
Stay there by your fireside bright
Tinggallah di sana di samping api yang hangat
I love Irene God knows I do
Aku mencintai Irene, Tuhan tahu aku melakukannya
Love her till the seas run dry
Cintailah dia sampai lautan kering
And if Irene turns her back on me,
Dan jika Irene berpaling dariku,
I'll take morphine and die
Aku akan minum morfin dan mati
