一
Calico pie, The little birds fly
Down to the calico-tree:
Their wings were blue,
And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
Till away they flew;And they never came back to me!
They never came back, They never came back,
They never came back to me!
克裏克餅,小鳥兒飛不停,
飛到克裏克樹上棲:
藍色的翅膀多美麗,
唱著歌兒“嘀哩哩!”
拍拍翅膀就飛離;他們再也不飛回我身邊!
他們再也不飛回,再也不飛回,
再也不飛回到我身邊!
二
Calico jam, The little Fish swam
Over the Syllabub Sea.
He took off his hat To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-wat:
But he never came back to me;
He never came back, He never came back,
He never came back to me.
克裏克果醬,小魚兒流浪,
穿越西拉布海洋。
他向比目魚、鯡魚,還有威裏比蛙魚,
脫下帽兒來行禮:
可他再不遊回我身邊!
他再也不遊回,再也不遊回,
再也不遊回到我身邊!
三
Calico ban, The little Mice ran
To be ready in time for tea; Flippity flup,
They drank it all up, And danced in the cup:
But they never came back to me;
They never came back, They never came back,
They never came back to me
克裏克布告,小老鼠們跑,
跑去趕時間吃茶點;水果、糕點真新鮮,
他們吃得狼吞虎咽,在茶杯裏舞翩翩:
可他們再也不跑回我身邊!
他們再也不跑回,再也不跑回,
再也不跑回到我身邊!
四
Calico drum, The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground, Around and round,
With a hop and a bound;
But they never came back,
They never came back, They never came back.
They never came back to me.
克裏克鼓,蚱蜢跳出,
