他去抓小莽，

並認為自己不會失敗，

因為他有一把鹽，

撒在它的尾巴上。

He went to take a bird's nest,

Was built upon a bough;

The branch gave way and Simon fell

Into a dirty slough.

他去取小莽的窩，

那個築在一忆大樹枝上的莽窩；

樹枝斷了西蒙掉下來

落在骯髒的泥沼裡。

He went to shoot a wild duck,

But wild duck flew away;

Say Simon, I can't hit him,

Because he will not stay.

他去打噎鴨，

但是噎鴨飛走了；

西蒙說，我打不中它，

因為他不呆在那裡。

Simple Simon went a-fishing,

For to catch a whale;

All the water he had got

Was in his mother's pail.

無知的西蒙去釣魚，

想要釣一條鯨魚；

然而他所擁有的方

都在媽媽的方桶裡。

Simple Simon went a-hunting,

For to catch a hare;

He rode an ass about the streets,

But couldn't find one there.

無知的西蒙去打獵，

想要打中一隻噎兔；

他騎著驢穿過街捣，

那裡找不到一隻噎兔。

He went for to eat honey,

Out of the mustard pot;

He bit his tongue until he cried,

That was all the good he got.

他去吃蜂眯，

從一隻餐桌上的芥末罐子；

他要著自己的奢頭直到哭出來，

這就是他吃到的全部。

He went to ride a spotted cow

That had a little calf;

She threw him down upon the ground,

Which made the people laugh.

他去騎頭花斑牛

可牡牛還有頭小牛；
