My Dear Little Maid  我親愛的小姑娘

　　THERE is a sweet maiden asleep by the sea,

　　海邊有一個美麗的姑娘，

　　Her lips are as red as a cherry ;

　　她的嘴唇像櫻桃一樣紅；

　　The roses are resting upon her brown cheeks-

　　玫瑰花正擱在她棕色的臉頰上—

　　Her cheeks that are brown as a berry.

　　她的臉頰像是棕色的果漿。

　　She's tired of building up castles of sand,

　　她厭倦了建造沙子城堡，

　　Her hands they are gritty and grubby ;

　　她的手上都是沙子臟兮兮的；

　　Her shoes, they are wet, and her legs, they are bare,

　　她的鞋子，都是濕的，腿是光著的，

　　Her legs that are sturdy and chubby.

　　她的腿是強壯的、胖乎乎的。

　　I'll wrap a shawl round you, my dear little maid,

　　我會把圍巾圍在你的脖子上，我親愛的小姑娘，

　　To keep the wind off you completely,

　　讓風完全吹過你

　　And soft I will sing you a lullaby song,

　　我會給你唱一首柔軟的搖籃曲

　　And soon you will slumber most sweetly.

　　很快你會最甜蜜的入眠。
