My mother has killed me
My mother has killed me,
My father is eating me,
My brothers and sisters sit under the table,
Picking up my bones,
And they bury them,
under the cold marble stones.
我的妈妈杀了我,
我的爸爸在吃我,
我的兄弟和我的姊妹坐在餐桌底,
捡起我的骨头,埋了它们,
埋到冰冷的石碑下。
Lizzie Borden Took An Axe
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Hit her father forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She hit her mother forty-one.
丽兹玻顿拿起斧头,
砍了爸爸四十下。
当她意识到她做了甚么,
她砍她妈妈四十一下。
There was a man, a very untidy man,
Whose fingers could nowhere be found
to put in his tomb.
He had rolled his head far underneath the bed;
He had left legs and arms lying
all over the room.
死了一个男人,一个很邋遢的男人,
他的手指到处找不到,
没办法放进坟墓。
他的头远远滚到床底;
他的腿和手臂,
在房间里到处乱丢。
