A bold hippopotamus was standing one day
一天,一只勇敢的河马站在那里
On the banks of the cool Shalimar
在清凉的夏利玛尔河畔
He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay
他凝视着平静的海底
By the light of the evening star
在昏星照耀下
Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair
在山顶上坐着梳着头发
His fair hippopotami maid
他漂亮的姑娘
The hippopotamus was no ignoramus
河马可不是愚昧无知的人
So sang her this sweet serenade
于是为她唱起这首甜美的小夜曲
Mud mud glorious mud
烂泥烂泥辉煌的泥
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
没有什么比它更能让人冷静下来
So follow me follow down to the hollow
所以跟随着我跟随着来到山谷之中
And there let us wallow in glorious mud
让我们沉浸在美好的泥淖里
The fair hippopotamus he aimed to entice
他想引诱美丽的河马
From her seat on that hilltop above
她坐在山顶上
As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice
因为她没有妈妈给她建议
Came tip toeing down to her love
我小心翼翼地接受她的爱
Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound
如同惊雷森林里回荡着这声音
Of the song that they sang as they met
他们相遇时唱的那首歌
His inamorata and adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet
他对她投怀送抱调整了一下她的吊带袜提高了她唱二重唱的声音
Mud mud glorious mud
烂泥烂泥辉煌的泥
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
没有什么比它更能让人冷静下来
So follow me follow down to the hollow
所以跟随着我跟随着来到山谷之中
And there let us wallow in glorious mud
让我们沉浸在美好的泥淖里
Now more hippopotami began to convene
如今更多的嬉皮开始聚集
On the banks of that river so wide
在宽阔的河岸边
I wonder now what am I to say of the scene
我不知道我该如何形容这场景
That ensued by the Shalimar side
随之而来的是沙里玛一方
They dived all at once with an ear splitting splosh
他们突然潜入水中发出震耳欲聋的枪声
Then rose to the surface again
然后又浮出水面
A regular army of hippopot army
一支正规的嬉皮士军队
All singing this haunting refrain
大家唱着萦绕心头的歌
Not to Charles
而不是查尔斯
Glorious mud
美丽的泥泞
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
没有什么比它更能让人冷静下来
So follow me follow down to the hollow
所以跟随着我跟随着来到山谷之中
And there let us wallow in glorious mud
让我们沉浸在美好的泥淖里
