Little Sparrow

Little sparrow sing your song
小麻雀啊，唱起了歌
All day long.
天光作伴，尽情雀跃
Through the summer and the fall
一直从酷夏到深秋
When winter calls,
可当严冬来临
Who will write down what you sing
谁还会记录下你的歌谣？
When the winter turns to spring?
那寒冬要过多久才变成暖春呢？
Who will cast the first stone at me for what I’ve done
谁会因我犯下的错而扔出第一枚石子
To the least of these?
这算最仁慈的惩罚了吧？
Little robin rest your head
知更鸟啊，别张望了
The sun is dead.
太阳西沉，夜幕将至
From the shelter of your tree
快回到你藏身的树洞
May you be
但愿你
Safe and warm when you are cold.
在寒冷中能找到庇护和温暖
Through the night your story’s told
捱过今晚，你就收获美誉和赞许
To the lost and the lonely of souls who search for love
歌颂在寻爱中迷失的自我和孤独的灵魂
But still grow old.
能永垂不朽
.
And who will write down what you sing
谁还会记录下你的赞歌？
When the winter turns to spring?
那寒冬要过多久才变成暖春呢？
Who will cast the first stone at me for what I’ve done
谁会因我犯下的错而扔出第一枚石子
To the least of these?
