I have a gumbie cat in mind
我心中有一只Gumbie猫
Her name is jennyanydots
她的名字叫Jennyanydots
Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots
她身披虎纹豹斑的斑纹外衣
All day she sits upon the stair or on the step or on the mat
整日她坐在楼梯台阶或垫子上
She sits and sits and sits and sits
她坐着坐着一直坐着
And that's what makes a gumbie cat
这就是Gumbie猫的特质
That's what makes a gumbie cat
这就是Gumbie猫的特质
But
但是
When the day's hustle and bustle is done
当白日的喧嚣归于沉寂
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
Gumbie猫的忙碌才刚开启
And when all the family's in bed and asleep
待全家沉入梦乡之际
She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep
她提着裙摆潜入地下室
She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice
她为老鼠的习性忧心忡忡
Their behaviour's not good and their manners not nice
它们举止粗鲁 缺乏教养
So when she has got them lined up on the matting
当她把它们列队在地毯上
She teaches them music crocheting and tatting
便教授音乐与编织的技艺
I have a gumbie cat in mind
我心中有一只Gumbie猫
Hr name is jennyanydots
她名叫珍妮安多特
Her equal would be hard to find
世间难寻这般模样
Se likes the warm and sunny spots
最爱温暖阳光角落
All day she sits beside the hearth or on the bed or on my hat
整日守在炉边床上 或窝在我帽子上
She sits and sits and sits and sits
她坐着坐着一直坐着
And that's what makes a gumbie cat
这就是Gumbie猫的特质
That's what makes a gumbie cat
这就是Gumbie猫的特质
But when the day's hustle and bustle is done
当白日的喧嚣渐渐平息
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
Gumbie猫的忙碌才刚开启
As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet
她发现老鼠们总不肯安静
She is sure it is due to irregular diet
确信是饮食不规律的原因
And believing that nothing is done without trying
深信万事皆需努力尝试
She sets right to work with her baking and frying
便立刻投入烘焙与煎炸
She makes them a mouse-cake of bread and dried peas
用面包干豌豆烤制鼠蛋糕
And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese
再煎出完美的瘦培根配奶酪
I have a gumbie cat in mind
我心中有一只Gumbie猫
Her name is jennyanydots
她的名字叫Jennyanydots
The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots
她喜欢把窗帘绳绕成水手结
She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and flat
她坐在窗台上 或任何平坦的地方
She sits and sits and sits and sits
她坐着坐着一直坐着
And that's what makes a gumbie cat
这就是Gumbie猫的特质
That's what makes a gumbie cat
这就是Gumbie猫的特质
But
但是
When the day's hustle and bustle is done
当白日的喧嚣归于沉寂
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
Gumbie猫的忙碌才刚开启
She thinks that the cockroaches need employment
她认为蟑螂们需要工作
To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment
以免它们游手好闲搞破坏
So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts
于是她将这群散漫的家伙
A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts
训练成守纪律的童子军队列
With a purpose in life and a good deed to do
赋予它们人生目标与善行使命
And she's even created a beetles tattoo
甚至为甲虫设计了刺绣徽章
So for old gumbie cats let us give three cheers
让我们为老甘比猫欢呼三声
On whom well ordered households depend it appears
井然有序的家园全仰仗她的本领
Three cheers three cheers three cheers
三声欢呼 三声欢呼 三声欢呼
For she's a jolly good fellow
她可是个顶好的伙伴
Thank you my dears
多谢了亲爱的们
