The black and green scarecrow,

as everyone knows,

stood with a bird on his hat

and straw everywhere.

He didn't care....

He stood in a field where barley grows.

His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move,

except when the wind cut up rough

and mice ran around on the ground.

He stood in a field where barley grows.

The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me,

but now he's resigned to his fate

'cause life's not unkind.

He doesn't mind.

He stood in a field where barley grows.





墨绿的稻草人,

没有谁不知道,

周围是麦杆,帽子上有小鸟.

它觉得很好.

他站在那片地里, 

大麦一天天长高



它头不思想,手臂不动,

除了有老鼠在脚边乱跑,

或者起风.

他站在那片地里,

大麦一天天长高



墨绿的稻草人呀

他比我更忧伤,

可如今他顺从了命运, 因为生活并非无情.

他不再去烦恼.

他站在那片地里,

大麦一天天长高
