- Cosmo Sheldrake Pelicans We 歌词
- Cosmo Sheldrake
- King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
鹈鹕中的国王与皇后啊
No other Birds so grand we see!
再没谁能看到这么大的鸟儿啦！
None but we have feet like fins!
也没谁有我们像鱼鳍一样的脚啦！
With lovely leathery throats and chins!
还有那可爱的坚韧似皮革的喉咙和下巴！
Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
鹈鹕向前走！
We think no birds so happy as we!
再没有像我们这么快乐的鸟儿啦！
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
鹈鹕恋人们！
We think so then, and we thought so still!
那时我们这么想，现在也还这样！
We live on the Nile. The Nile we love.
我们生活全靠着尼罗河，我们喜欢那儿
By night we sleep on the cliffs above.
夜里我们就睡在悬崖峭壁
By day we fish, and at eve we stand
白天我们捕鱼，傍晚我们就站在
On long bare islands of yellow sand.
铺满黄沙，光秃秃的长长海岛
And when the sun sinks slowly down
当夕阳慢慢下沉
And the great rock walls grow dark and brown,
大岩石做的墙也变成暗棕色
Where the purple river rolls fast and dim
紫色的河水迅速地翻滚着黯淡下来
And the ivory Ibis starlike skim,
乳白色的朱鹭也一闪而去
Wing to wing we dance around,
翅膀勾着翅膀，我们围成一圈跳起舞来
Stamping our feet with a flumpy sound,
我们的脚丫重重踏步，发出砰砰声
Opening our mouths as Pelicans ought,
张开我们的大嘴巴，鹈鹕就要有鹈鹕的样子嘛
And this is the song we nightly snort:
接下来就是我们夜夜哼唱的小曲啦
King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
鹈鹕中的国王与皇后啊
No other Birds so grand we see!
再没谁能看到这么大的鸟儿啦！
None but we have feet like fins!
也没谁有我们像鱼鳍一样的脚啦！
With lovely leathery throats and chins!
还有那可爱的坚韧似皮革的喉咙和下巴！
Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
鹈鹕向前走！
We think no birds so happy as we!
再没有像我们这么快乐的鸟儿啦！
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
鹈鹕恋人们！
We think so then, and we thought so still!
那时我们这么想，现在也还这样！
