For Want of a Nail
くぎ一本がないために
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; For want of the shoe, the horse was lost; For want of the horse, the rider was lost; For want of the rider, the battle was lost; For want of the battle, the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
くぎ一本が ないために、蹄鉄が なくなった 蹄鉄が ないために、馬を 失った 馬が ないために、乗り手を 失った 乗り手が いないために、戦いに 負けた 戦いに 負けたために、王国が 滅びた それも みんな 蹄鉄のくぎ一本が なかったせい
If Wishes Were Horses
もしも願いが馬だったら
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side. And if "ifs" and "ands" Were pots and pans, There'd be no work for tinkers!
もしも 願いが 馬だったら、物乞いだって 馬に乗れる もしも カブが 時計だったら、ぼくも ひとつ 腰にさげるのに そして もしも「もしも」や「たら」が おなべや フライパンだったら 鍋直しの 仕事は なくなっちゃう！
