Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king;
春,甜蜜的春,乐享四季王冠;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
少女绕圈跳舞,万物生机盎然,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
没有刺骨寒,艳鸟鸣啭,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
布谷,啁啾,豌豆苞谷!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
棕榈和五月山楂装点乡下房屋,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
羔羊玩耍嬉戏,牧人终日吹笛,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
鸟儿附和这欢快的歌曲,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo.
布谷,啁啾,豌豆苞谷!
The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
雏菊亲吻双足,原野吐纳芬芳,
Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,
青年相会谈情,老妇坐晒阳光,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
走街串巷的曲调问候耳孔,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
布谷,啁啾,豌豆苞谷!
Spring! the sweet Spring!
春!甜蜜的春!
