Modest and shy as a nun is she,

雌鳥羞澀得像位修女，

One weak chirp is her only note;

偶爾低聲地唧喳兩聲，

Braggart and prince of braggarts is he,

夫君卻是自吹自擂的王子，

Pouring boasts from his little throat:

頗為自豪地不停叫喚，

Bobolink, Bobolink,

食米鳥，食米鳥，

Spink, spank, spink,

斯賓克，斯潘克，斯賓克，

Never was I afraid of man,

我可從來不怕人，

Catch me, cowardly knaves, if you can.

無賴！流氓！有膽你就放馬過來，

Chee, chee, chee.

唧，唧，唧。

Six white eggs on a bed of hay,

干草上，六只白色的蛋，

Flecked with purple, a pretty sight!

紫色的斑點(diǎn)，溫潤美麗，

There as the mother sits all day,

媽媽整天地孵坐窩里，

Robert is singing with all his might:

父親快樂地吐露心聲，

Bobolink, bobolink,

食米鳥，食米鳥，

Spink, spank, spink,

斯賓克，斯潘克，斯賓克，

Nice good wife that never goes out,

盡職的母親從不挪窩，

Keeping house while I frolic about.

我卻在一邊玩耍嬉戲，

Chee, chee, chee.

唧，唧，唧。

Soon as the little ones chip the shell,

雛鳥們很快破殼而出，

Six wide mouths are open for food;

六只嗷嗷小嘴盼著食物，

Robert of Lincoln bestirs him well,

羅伯特.林肯抖擻精神，

Gathering seeds for the hungry brood..

銜來草籽喂養(yǎng)待哺的寶貝，

Bobolink, bobolink,

食米鳥，食米鳥，

Spink, spank, spink,

斯賓克，斯潘克，斯賓克，

This new life is likely to be hard for a gay young fellow like me.

新出世的雛鳥們，今后或許像我同樣艱難辛苦，

Chee, chee, chee.

唧，唧，唧。

Robert of Lincoln at length is made

羅伯特.林肯變了模樣，

Sober with work, and silent with care;

精心地照料孩子不再歌唱，

Off is his holiday garment laid,

它脫下假日漂亮的盛裝，

Half forgotten that merry air:

忘卻快樂的和煦陽光，

Bobolink, bobolink,

食米鳥，食米鳥，

Spink, spank, spink,

斯賓克，斯潘克，斯賓克，

Nobody knows but my mate and I

除了我們夫妻倆，

Where our nest and our nestlings lie.

沒人知道孵蛋的小窩搭在哪，

Chee, chee, chee.

唧，唧，唧。

Summer wanes; the children are grown;

夏天過去，雛鳥們已長大，

Fun and frolic no more he knows;

不再只知道嬉戲玩耍，

Robert of Lincoln's a humdrum crone;

老伴變得干癟無趣，

Off he flies, and we sing as he goes:

羅伯特飛走時(shí)，歌謠依然在唱，

Bobolink, bobolink,

食米鳥，食米鳥，

Spink, spank, spink,

斯賓克，斯潘克，斯賓克，

When you can pipe that merry old strain,

風(fēng)笛吹響，古老迷人的曲調(diào)，

Robert of Lincoln, come back again.

羅伯特終于飛回來了，

Chee, chee, chee.

唧，唧，唧。
