Could makea small boy dizzy;

能令小男孩暈眩；

But I hungon like death:

但我仍死抓不放，

Suchwaltzing was not easy.

這舞真不容易跳。

我们嬉闹撞到锅盘，

Slid fromthe kitchen shelf;

并且从橱架上滑落；

My mother'scountenance

妈妈紧绷着脸，

Could notunfrown itself.

面容难以舒缓。

The handthat held my wrist

那双握我手腕的手，

Wasbattered on one knuckle;

有一根指节被撞傷；

At everystep you missed

你每踏错一个舞步，

My rightear scraped a buckle.

我右耳就刮到扣环。

You beattime on my head

你敲我脑袋打节拍，

With apalm caked hard by dirt,

手掌的泥土已结块，

Thenwaltzed me off to bed

随后将我舞到床边，

Stillclinging to your shirt.

我依旧紧抓你衬衫。
