世上留传著许多关于亚瑟王的精彩故事,以及英勇的圆桌武士的传奇。他大约是在一千五百年前统治英国,打了许多场胜仗。但历史上是否存在这位王还有待查证。这首关于亚瑟王的童谣揭示了古代王族中的残忍吧。

Humpty Dumpty 蛋在断崖上孵化
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses, And all the king's men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again.
蛋在断崖上孵化, 孵着孵着掉下来了。
就算聚集了国王所有的马, 就算聚集了国王所有的臣子, 蛋也不能恢复原来的样子 。

Humpty-dumpty是蛋的意思。字典里解释为胖矮人。

There was a lady all skin and bone 从前有个皮包骨的女人
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。

There was a man, a very untidy man 从前有个男子
There was a man, a very untidy man,
Whose fingers could nowhere to be fonud to put in his tomb.
He had rolled his head far underneath the bed; He had left his legs
and arms lying all over the room.
从前有个男子 一个没出息的男子 他的手指到处找不到 懒得动手把他埋在坟墓里。 他把头滚落到床下
四肢散落在房间里。

Crooked man 性格扭曲的人
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile; He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
有个性格扭曲的人
走在一条长一里的扭曲的路上 手里那着扭曲的六便士 踏在扭曲的台阶上
他买了一只扭曲的猫 猫捉了一只扭曲的老鼠
他们一起住在扭曲的小房子里
备注: 出自《God Child vol.1》-《Crooked man》
此首童谣很明显的描述一名精神失常的男子,他与他身边的事物皆是「扭曲」的,歌词描述的十分贴近现实精神疾病患者的模样,以第三人称的角度,来看待他的生活与身边的事物,以「扭曲」代表与正常人生活相反的一面。
在黑暗的时代中,压力过大以致于精神失常或发疯的人不在少数,以现代来说,患有精神疾病的人其实也不少,他们的生活是「扭曲」的,在我们的眼里看起来他们也是「扭曲」的一群人,所以用「crook」(扭曲)来连贯这整首歌词是非常贴切的。

Baa, Baa, Black sheep 黑羊
Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool ? Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full; One for the master, And one for the dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane.
咩,咩,黑羊, 你有羊毛吗?
是的,先生,是的,先生,

三袋满满的 一袋给主人 一袋给夫人
还有一袋给那个 住在街尾的小男孩
备注: 出自《God Child vol.1》-《Black sheep》
在最早的时候,最后一句是:什么都没有给小男孩。童谣里“master”指的是国王,“dame”指的是贵族,“little boy”即是最底层的平民。揭示了上流社会的有钱人对底层人的压迫和榨取。

Sing a song of sixpence 唱一首六便士的歌
Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds, Baked in a pie.
唱一首六便士的歌, 慢慢一袋的黑麦; 24只黑鸟, 烤在派中
When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing; Was not that a dainty dish, To set before the king ?
当派被打开,
鸟儿们开始歌唱; 这是多么美味的菜肴, 摆放在国王面前?
The king was in his counting-house, Counting out his money; The queen was in the parlour, Eating bread and honey.
国王在他的金库里, 清点他的财富; 皇后在大厅里, 吃着面包和蜂蜜。
