I gave my love a cherry that had no stone,

I gave my love a chicken that had no bone,

I told my love a story that had no end,

I gave my love a baby that’s no cryin’.

How can there be a cherry that has no stone?

How can there be a chicken that has no bone?

How can there be a story that has no end?

How can there be a baby that’s no cryin’.

A cherry, when it’s growing,it has no stone;

A chicken, when it’s pipping, it has no bone;

The story that I love you, it has no end!

Oh, I love you, a baby, when it’s sleeping, it’s no cryin’.

 

我給我的愛人一顆沒有果核的櫻桃，

我給我的愛人一隻沒有骨頭的雞，

我告訴我的愛人一個無結局的故事，

我給我的愛人一個不會哭的嬰兒。

怎麼會有沒有果核的櫻桃？

怎麼會有沒有骨頭的雞？

怎麼會有無結局的故事呢？

怎麼會有不會哭的嬰兒。

櫻桃正在生長時，沒有果核；

一隻雞正在破殼而出時，沒有骨頭；

我愛你這則故事，沒有結局！

哦，我愛你，一個嬰兒正在睡覺時，他不會哭。
