Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes, marry, have I, Three bags full;

Mbek, mbek, domba hitam, Apakah kau punya wol? Ya, tentu saja, aku punya, Tiga karung penuh;

One for my master, One for my dame, But none for the little boy Who cries in the lane.

Satu untuk tuanku, Satu untuk nyonyaku, Tapi tak ada untuk anak kecil Yang menangis di jalan.
