冬天，他們沉默了——風刮得厲害； |
| What it says, I don't know, but it sings a loud song. |
風說啥，我不知道，可風在高歌。 |
| But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather, |
綠葉，鮮花，睛朗暖和的天氣， |
| And singing, and loving — all come back together. |
歌唱，愛情——一切都重回大地。 |
| But the Lark is so brimful of gladness and love, |
而云雀呵，洋溢著愛，充滿了喜歡， |
| The green fields below him, the blue sky above, |
他下面是綠野，上面是藍天， |
| That he sings, and he sings, and for ever sings he — |
于是他唱啊，唱啊，他永遠唱不敗—— |
| "I love my Love and my Love loves me!" |
"我愛我的愛，哎，我的愛把我愛！" |
