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！
