BIRDIE'S MORNING SONG

小鸟的晨歌

Wake up, little darling, the birdies are out,

小宝贝，快起床，鸟儿都离巢，

And here you are still in your nest!

你却还在被窝！

The laziest birdie is hopping about;

最懒的小鸟都在跳来跳去，

You ought to be up with the rest.

你应该和其他人一样。

Wake up, little darling, wake up!

快起床，小宝贝，快起床！

Oh, see what you miss when you slumber so long —

噢，看哪，你贪睡这么久，

The dewdrops, the beautiful sky!

错过了露珠和美丽的天空！

I can not sing half what you lose in my song;

我无法重唱你错过的歌曲。

And yet, not a word in reply.

可你却毫不吭声。

Wake up, little darling, wake up!

快起床，小宝贝，快起床！

I've sung myself quite out of patience with you,

当妈妈弯腰吻一吻你亲爱的脸。

While mother bends o'er your dear head;

我告诉自己对你完全失去耐心，

Now birdie has done all that birdie can do:

小鸟已完成所能做的一切，

Her kisses will wake you instead!

她的吻会替我唤醒你。

Wake up, little darling, wake up!

快起床，小宝贝，快起床！
