BABY DOLLY

아기 인형

Hush, baby, my dolly, I pray you don't cry,

쉿, 아가, 내 인형아, 제발 울지 마렴,

And I'll give you some bread, and some milk by-and-by;

이따가 빵도 주고, 우유도 줄게;

Or perhaps you like custard, or, maybe, a tart,

아니면 커스터드가 좋으면, 혹시, 타르트도 있는데,

Then to either you're welcome, with all my heart.

그럼 어느 것이든 진심으로 환영해.

BEES

A swarm of bees in May

오월의 벌 떼는

Is worth a load of hay;

건초 한 수레만큼의 가치가 있고;

A swarm of bees in June

유월의 벌 떼는

Is worth a silver spoon;

은 숟가락만큼의 가치가 있고;

A swarm of bees in July

칠월의 벌 떼는

Is not worth a fly.

파리 한 마리만한 가치도 없다네.

COME OUT TO PLAY

나와서 놀자

Girls and boys, come out to play,

여자아이들과 남자아이들아, 나와서 놀자,

The moon doth shine as bright as day;

달이 대낮처럼 밝게 빛나고 있으니;

Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,

저녁밥도 잠도 내려놓고,

And come with your playfellows into the street.

놀이 친구들과 함께 거리로 나오렴.

Come with a whoop, come with a call,

환호성을 지르며 오고, 소리치며 오렴,

Come with a good will or not at all.

기꺼운 마음으로 오든지, 아니면 아예 오지 마.

Up the ladder and down the wall,

사다리를 올라가고 담을 내려와,

A half-penny roll will serve us all.

반 페니짜리 빵 하나면 우리 모두 충분해.

You find milk, and I'll find flour,

네가 우유를 구해 오면, 나는 밀가루를 구해 올게,

And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

그러면 삼십 분 안에 푸딩을 만들 수 있을 거야.

IF WISHES WERE HORSES

소원이 말이라면

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

소원이 말이라면, 거지들도 말을 탈 텐데.

If turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side.

순무가 시계라면, 나도 하나 차고 다닐 텐데.

And if "ifs" and "ands"

그리고 만약 "만약"과 "그리고"가

Were pots and pans,

냄비와 프라이팬이라면,

There'd be no work for tinkers!

땜장이들은 할 일이 없어질 텐데!
