【英】阿·阿·米尔恩 著
熊良銋 译
我常想我要是国王该多美,
因为那样我就能为所欲为。
假如当西班牙国王就好啦,
那我就要脱帽冒雨游天下。
假如我就任国王在法兰西,
我就不会梳头去讨好阿姨。
我又想假如我是希腊国王,
我会把壁炉上器具全扫光。
假如我当国王主宰北挪威,
我就要令大象停下把我陪。
假如我被尊为巴比伦国王,
我就让扣绊手套永不松绑。
假如我称王管辖廷巴克图,
我就会想出许多称心事做。
假如我是王中王,至高无上,
我就会对士兵说“我就是王!”
If I Were King
Written by A. A. Milne
Translated by L. R. Xiong
I often wish I were a King,
And then I could do anything.
If only I were King of Spain,
I'd take my hat off in the rain.
If only I were King of France,
I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts.
I think, if I were King of Greece,
I'd push things off the mantelpiece.
If I were King of Norroway,
I'd ask an elephant to stay.
If I were King of Babylon,
I'd leave my button gloves undone.
If I were King of Timbuctoo,
I'd think of lovely things to do.
If I were King of anything,
I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"
