5/20

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Seventeen times as high as the moon
Where she was going I couldn't but ask it
For in her hand she carried a broom

Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I
Where are you going to up so high ?
To brush the cobwebs off the sky !
May I go with you ?
Ay, by-and-by

かごにはいってなげられたおばあさん
つきまでのきょりの17ばい
どこへいくのかきかずにはいられない
てにホウキをもっていたから

おばあさん　おばあさん
そんなにたかくどちらまで？
そらのクモのすをはらいにね！
ごいっしょしてもいいですか？
ああ　いつか
