Sing a Song for Sixpence,
唱一首六便士的歌,
A Pocketful of Rye;
一袋子满满的黑麦;
Four-and-Twenty BlackbirdsBaked in a Pie.
把二十四只黑鸫,
烤进馅饼里。
9When the Pie was opened, 切开馅饼时,
The birds began to sing; 黑鸫唱起来;
Was not that a dainty Dish,
To set before the King?
这么美味的佳肴,
快献给国王尝一尝?
The King was in his Counting-house,
Counting out his Money.
国王正在国库里,
清点财富呢。
The Queen was in the Parlour, 皇后正在大厅里,
Eating Bread and Honey. 享用面包和蜂蜜。
The Maid was in the Garden,
Hanging out the Clothes;

晾晒衣服呢;
There came a little Blackbird, 飞来了一只小黑鸫,
And snapped off her Nose. 往她的鼻子上啄。
But there came a Jenny Wren
and popped it on again.
但是又飞过来一只小鹪鹩,
把她的鼻子接上了。
