Ring Around the Roses

Ring Around the Roses

Ring around the roses,

A pocket full of posies.

Ashes,ashes,we all stand still.

The king has sent his daughter，

To fetch a pail of water.

Ashes,ashes,we all fall down.

The bird upon the steeple sits high，

Above the people.

Ashes,ashes,we all kneel down.

The wedding bells are ringing;

The boys and girls are singing.

Ashes,ashes,we all fall down.

譯文：

圍著玫瑰花叢繞圈

★王亞楠/譯

環繞著玫瑰花叢，

裝滿花束的口袋。

灰燼，灰燼！我們仍然站立。

國王讓他的女兒，

去取一桶水。

灰燼，灰燼！我們全部跌倒。

尖塔上的鳥仍然站得很高，

在人們的上面。

灰燼，灰燼！我們全部跪倒。

結婚的鈴聲正響起；

男孩們和女孩們都唱起頌歌。

灰燼，灰燼！我們全部跌倒。

注釋：

fetch 取得

a pail of一桶

steeple 尖塔

kneel跪

ash 灰燼
