Once upon a time there was a poor child, 从前，有个可怜的孩子，

with no father and no mother 没有爸爸，没有妈妈

And everything was dead 所有的一切都已经死了

And no one was left in the whole world 没有人被留在了整个世界

Everything was dead 一切都已经死了

   

And the child went on search, day and night 和孩子继续搜索，昼夜

And since nobody was left on the earth, 而且，由于没有人留在地球上，

he wanted to go up into the heavens 他想去入天

And the moon was looking at him so friendly 和月亮看着他那么友好

And when he finally got to the moon, 而当他终于到了月球，

the moon was a piece of rotten wood 月球是一块烂木头

   

And then he went to the sun 然后他去太阳

And when he got there, the sun was a wilted sunflower 而当他到了那里，太阳是一个枯萎的向日葵

And when he got to the stars, they were little golden flies. 而当他到了明星，他们是小金苍蝇。

Stuck up there, like the shrike sticks 'em on a blackthorn 卡在那里，像伯劳枝时间在黑刺李

   

And when he wanted to go back, down to earth, 而当他想回去，脚踏实地，

the earth was an overturned piss pot 地球是一个朝天锅小便

And he was all alone, and he sat down and he cried 他是独自一人，他坐了下来，他哭了

And he is there till this day 他在那里，直到这一天

All alone: 独自一人：

   

Okay, there's your story! 好了，有你的故事！

Night-night! 晚上夜！
