　　Far down in the valley the wheat grows deep, 山谷深处，小麦成熟了。

　　And the reapers are making the cradles sweep; 农民们正在收割粮食。

　　And this is the song that I hear them sing, 当愉快而响亮的声音想起时，

　　While cheery and loud their voices ring: 我听到他们唱着这首歌曲：

　　"'Tis the finest wheat that ever did grow! 这是我们种过的最优质的小麦！

　　And it is for Alice's supper--ho! ho!" 我们用它作为爱丽丝的晚餐！嘿嘿！”

　　far down by the river the old mill stands, 遥远的河边，有一座磨坊，

　　And the miller is rubbing his dusty hands; 磨坊主正转动布满尘土的齿轮。

　　And these are the words of the miller's lay, 当他看到磨石转动的时候，

　　As he watches the millstones grinding away: 磨坊主说出了这样的话：

　　This the finest flour that money can buy, “这是用钱可以买到的最优质的面粉，

　　And it is for Alice's supper--hi! hi!" 我们用它作为爱丽丝的晚餐！嘿嘿！”

　　Downstairs in the kitchen the fire doth glow, 楼下的厨房，生起了火，

　　And cook is a-kneading the soft, white dough; 厨师正把面粉揉成雪白柔软的面团。

　　And this is the song she is singing to-day, 当她快乐而忙碌地工作时，

　　As merry and busy she's working away: 今天她唱出了这样的歌：

　　"'Tis the finest dough, whether near or afar, “这是世界上最好吃的布丁，

　　And it is for Alice's supper--ha! ha!" 我们用它作为爱丽丝的晚餐！嘿嘿！”

　　To the nursery now comes mother, at last, 现在妈妈来到了幼儿园，

　　And what in her hand is she bringing so fast? 她手上端着的是什么？

　　'Tis a plateful of something, all yellow and white, 这盘东西白黄相间，

　　And she sings as she comes, with her smile so bright: 进来时，她满脸微笑地唱道：

　　"'Tis the best bread and butter I ever did see, “这是我见过的最棒的面包，

　　And it is for Alice's supper--he! he!" 用作爱丽丝的晚餐！嘿嘿！”
