Jack and Jill/Gill – Джек и Джилл, юноша и девушка “Jack and Jill” is a classic nursery rhyme in the English speaking world. The origin of the rhyme is obscure and there are several theories that attempt to interpret the lyrics. The rhyme is known to date back to at least the 18th century. The earliest publication of the lyrics was in the 1760s in John Newbery’s Mother Goose’s Melody. As a result, Jack and Jill are considered part of the canon of “Mother Goose” characters. The song is sometimes titled Jack and Gill, particularly in early versions. Common modern version of the rhyme includes: Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after.
