再睡一會兒，再打盹一會兒，再抱著雙手躺一會兒，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着双臂躺卧片时，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着双臂躺卧片时，

再睡一会儿，再打个盹儿，抱着手躺一会儿，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，

再睡一会儿，再打盹一会儿，再抱着双手躺一会儿，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着手躺臥片時，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着雙臂躺臥片時，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着雙臂躺臥片時，

再睡一會兒，再打個盹兒，抱著手躺一會兒，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，

只管且睡片時，且打盹片時，且抱着手躺着片時，

再寢片時、又睡片時、叉手偃臥片時、

爾束手而寢、言欲少寐、俄傾即起、

爾若且睡片時、再寢片時、又叉手偃臥片時、

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,

“ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”

A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep—

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,

[ Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

懶惰的人哪，你當到螞蟻那裡去，觀看牠的行為，得著智慧！

你的眼就看見怪事，你的心也吐出荒謬；你就像是躺在海中，也像躺在桅杆頂端，說：

再睡一會兒，再打盹一會兒，再抱著雙手躺一會兒，你的貧窮就會像強盜來到，你的缺乏就會像拿兵器的人來到。
