There was a lady all skin and bone
There was a lady all skin and bone,
Sure such a lady was never known:
It happened upon a certain day,
This lady went to church to pray.
从前有个皮包骨头的女人,
当然你从没听说过这样的女人:
一切发生在某一天,
这位女士去教堂作祷告。
When she came to the church stile,
There she did rest a little while;
When she came to the church yard,
There the hells so loud she heard.
当她来到教堂阶梯,
她停了一小会;
当她来到教堂墓园,
她听见地狱的呻吟声是如此响亮。
When she came to the church door,
She stopped to rest a little more;
When she came the church within,
The parson prayed 'gainst pride and sin.
当她来到教堂的门口,
她又停了一会;
当她进入教堂,
牧师正抗拒着虚荣与罪恶作着祷告。
On looking up, on looking down,
She saw a dead man on the ground;
And from his nose unto his chin,
The worms crawled out,
the worms crawled in.
上看,下看,
她看见一个死人躺在地上;
从他的鼻子到下巴,
蛆们爬出,
蛆们蠕进。
Then she unto the parson said,
Shall I be so when I am dead?
O yes!
O yes, the parson said,
You will be so when you are dead.
然后她对牧师说,
我死后会变成这样吗?
噢,是的!
噢,是的,牧师说道,
你死后就会变成这样。
