London Bridge

Little Bo Peep

Little boy blue


London Bridge

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady!

Build it up with wood and gray,
Wood and gray, wood and gray.
Build it up with wood and gray,
My fair lady!

Wood and gray will wash away,
Washed away, washed away.
Wood and gray will wash away,
My fair lady!

Build it up with iron and steel,
Iron and steel, iron and steel.
Build it up with iron and steel,
My fair lady!

Iron and steel will bent and poor,
Bent and poor, bent and poor.
Iron and steel will bent and poor,
My fair lady!

Build it up with silver and gold,
Silver and gold, silver and gold.
Build it up with silver and gold,
My fair lady!

Silver and gold will be stolen away,
Stolen away, stolen away.
Silver and gold will be stolen away,
My fair lady!

有名なロンドンブリッジの歌。

ロンドンブリッジが落ちていく。
木とわらで作ろう、いや木とわらでは流されてしまう。
鉄と鋼で作ろう、いや鉄と鋼は凹んでしまう。
銀と金で作ろう、いや銀と金は盗まれてしまう。


Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them
Leave them alone,
And they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them

Little Bo Peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating
But when she awoke,
She found it a joke
For they were all still fleeting

Then up she took her little crook
Determined for to find them
She found them indeed,
But it made her heart bleed
For they'd left all their tails behind them!

It happened one day, as Bo Peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by
There she espied
Their tails side by side
All hung on a tree to dry

She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye
And over the hillocks she raced;
And tried what she could,
As a shepherdess should
That each tail should be properly placed



Little boy blue

Little boy blue,
Come blow your horn!
The sheep's in the meadow;
The cow's in the corn
Where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack,
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
No, not I,
For if I do,
He's sure to cry.
