Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again
當亞瑟王治理這片土地的時候，
他是壹位偉大的王。
他偷了三袋麥片，
為了做壹個大布丁。
這個王做的布丁，
放進許多葡萄幹，
還放進了壹塊大奶油，
就像我的兩個拇指那麽大。
王後吃了該吃的那份，
吃了身邊貴族們的那份，
還吃了那天晚上不該吃的那份。
第二天早上皇後被油煎了。
When good King Arthur ruled his land
He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley meal
To make a bag-pudding.
A bag-pudding the king did make,
And stuffed it well with plums,
And in it put great lumps of fat
As big as my two thumbs.
The king and queen did eat thereof,
And noblemen beside,
And what they could not eat that night
The queen next morning fried.
oh,dear!
dear,dear! what can the matter be?

a melancholy song
trip upon trenchers,
and dance upon dishes,
my mother sent me for some barm,some barm;
she bid me go lightly,
and come again quickly,
for fear the young men should do me some harm.
yet didn't you see,yet didn't you see,
what naughty tricks they put upon me?
they broke my pitcher
and spilt the water,
and huffed my mother,
and chid her daughter,
and kissed my sister instead of me.
憂郁歌
在挖溝機上旅遊，
並且在碗碟上跳舞，
我的母親寄給我壹些酵母，壹些酵母；
她輕輕地叫我去，
並很快再來，
那些讓我恐懼的年輕男子可能會傷害我。
但妳沒有看見，但妳沒有看見，
他們對我開了哪些下流的玩笑?
他們打碎了我的大水罐
溢出了水，
並且嚇著了我的母親，
然後責罵了她的女兒，
最後親吻了我的妹妹而不是我。
