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.

译文：

围着玫瑰花丛绕圈

★王亚楠/译

环绕着玫瑰花丛，

装满花束的口袋。

灰烬，灰烬！我们仍然站立。

国王让他的女儿，

去取一桶水。

灰烬，灰烬！我们全部跌倒。

尖塔上的鸟仍然站得很高，

在人们的上面。

灰烬，灰烬！我们全部跪倒。

结婚的铃声正响起；

男孩们和女孩们都唱起颂歌。

灰烬，灰烬！我们全部跌倒。
