BIRDIE'S MORNING SONG
小鳥的晨歌
Wake up, little darling, the birdies are out,
小寶貝，快起床，鳥兒都離巢，
And here you are still in your nest!
你卻還在被窩！
The laziest birdie is hopping about;
最懶的小鳥都在跳來跳去，
You ought to be up with the rest.
你應(yīng)該和其他人一樣。
Wake up, little darling, wake up!
快起床，小寶貝，快起床！
Oh, see what you miss when you slumber so long —
噢，看哪，你貪睡這么久，
The dewdrops, the beautiful sky!
錯過了露珠和美麗的天空！
I can not sing half what you lose in my song;
我無法重唱你錯過的歌曲。
And yet, not a word in reply.
可你卻毫不吭聲。
Wake up, little darling, wake up!
快起床，小寶貝，快起床！
I've sung myself quite out of patience with you,
當(dāng)媽媽彎腰吻一吻你親愛的臉。
While mother bends o'er your dear head;
我告訴自己對你完全失去耐心，
Now birdie has done all that birdie can do:
小鳥已完成所能做的一切，
Her kisses will wake you instead!
她的吻會替我喚醒你。
Wake up, little darling, wake up!
快起床，小寶貝，快起床！
