My heart is like a singing bird

Whose nest is in a watered shoot;

My heart is like an apple tree

Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon sea;

My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is come to me.

 

Raise me a dais of silk and down;

Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it in doves and pomegranates,

And peacocks with a hundred eyes;

Work it in gold and silver grapes,

In leaves and silver fleurdelys;

Because the birthday of my life

Is come, my love, is come to me.

 

O my love is like a red rose,

That’s newly sprung in June;

O my love is like the melody 

That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair thou art,

My bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I,

And I will love thee still, my Dear,

Till all the seas gang dry.

 

Till all the seas gang dry, my Dear,

And the rocks melt with the sun;

And I will love thee still, my Dear,

While the sands of life shall run

And fare thee well, my only Love!

And fare thee well a while!

And I will come again, my Love,

Tho’ it come, my love is come to me.

And I will come again, my Love,

Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!

Like a singing bird.

 

我的心就像一隻唱歌的小鳥

於粼樣的初芽上築巢；

我的心就像一棵蘋果樹

樹枝因豐碩果實而彎腰；

我的心就像一個彩虹貝殼

在平靜的海面上划槳；

我的心比所有這些更令人高興

因為我的愛來到我身邊。

 

為我築一座絲綢聖壇；

用紫色和紫色染料掛起來；

雕刻成鴿子和石榴，

還有百隻眼睛的孔雀；

金銀兩色葡萄串疊，

綠葉和銀色百合花飾裝飾；

因為我的生日

來了，我的愛來到我面前。

 

我的愛就像一朵紅玫瑰，

在六月份剛剛出現；

我的愛就像旋律

甜美地奏調。

就你而言，

我的漂亮女孩，

我深深愛著，

我還會愛你，親愛的，

直到所有的海域都乾涸。

 

直到所有的海域都乾涸，親愛的，

岩石隨著太陽融化；

我還會愛你，親愛的，

而生命的沙子應該運行

和你一樣好，我唯一的愛！

和你一樣好一陣子！

我會再來，我的愛人，

但是它來了，我的愛人來到我身旁。

我會再來，我的愛人，

雖然距離有一萬英里！

就像一隻唱歌的小鳥。
