"Five Little Pumpkins"

因為萬聖節,圖書館的說故事時間裡,老師唸了一本“五顆小南瓜“的兒歌,我好喜愛,在網路上找來兩種版本。

1. Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first on said, "My, it's getting late."
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "But we don't care."
The forth one said, "We'll run and run and run."
The fifth one said, "It's just Halloween fun."
"Whooooo" went the wind.
And out went the light.
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of site.

五顆小南瓜坐在籬笆上
第一顆說:喔~越來越晚了!
第二顆說:天空裡有巫婆耶!
第三顆說:但是我們才不怕呢!
第四顆說:我們會跑呀跑呀跑的!
第五顆說:只是萬聖節好玩嘛!
“嗚~“風吹來
燈熄滅
五顆小南瓜滾不見!


2. (from Mrs. Christina Sabedra)

Five little pumpkins on Halloween night
Proclaimed they weren't about to be given a fright
These five little pumpkins taunted the moon
Without a clue for what was coming soon

Five little pumpkins sitting on a fence
Waiting for Halloween with such suspense
A ghost flew by and gave a great big roar
One fell down and then there were... four

Four little pumpkins sitting on a fence
Waiting for Halloween with such suspense
A witch flew by them unexpectedly
One fell down and then there were... three

Three little pumpkins sitting on a fence
Waiting for Halloween with such suspense
Dracula came next, he was hunting for some food
One fell down and then there were... two

Two little pumpkins sitting on a fence
Waiting for Halloween with such suspense
A mummy came by for some Halloween fun
Another fell down and there was... one

One little pumpkins sitting on a fence
Waiting for Halloween with such suspense
Some children ran and they looked really stunned
The last pumpkin fell down and then there were none.

Dear 柔柔,
這應該叫兒詩啦,好像沒有歌耶!有另一個版本(歌詞不ㄧ樣的),就用Ten Little Indian Boys那首歌的音樂來唱。
有本書在Amazon有賣,那插畫話得很可愛喔!

Ruby,你知不知道哪裡會有most common/popular 兒歌歌詞呢?

Ziti said...

Dear Rochie,
我通常都是真的想找一首歌,在Google上打一打找一找通常可以找到。我並不知道popular的兒歌哪裡會有耶!
不過,已許你已知道,很多兒歌(美國)都是從Mother Gooes出來的,這是我最近才發現的呢!
