When I bring you coloured toys, my child, I understand why there is such a play of colours on clouds, on water, and why flowers are painted in tints--when I give coloured toys to you, my child. 当我给你五颜六色的玩具的时候,我的孩子,我明白了为什么云上水上是这样的色彩缤纷,为什么花朵上染上绚烂的颜色的原因了 -- 当我给你五颜六色的玩具的时候,我的孩子。
When I sing to make you dance, I truly know why there is music in leaves, and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth--when I sing to make you dance. 当我唱着使你跳舞的时候,我真的知道了为什么树叶儿响着音乐,为什么波浪把它们的合唱送进静听着的大地的心头 -- 当我唱着使你跳舞的时候。
When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands, I know why there is honey in the cup of the flower, and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice--when I bring sweet things to your greedy hands. 当我把糖果送到你的贪婪的双手上的时候,我知道了为什么在花萼里会有蜜,为什么水果里会秘密的充溢了甜汁 -- 当我把糖果送到你的贪婪的双手上的时候。
When I kiss your face to make you smile, my darling, I surely understand what pleasure streams from the sky in morning light, and what delight the summer breeze brings to my body--when I kiss you to make you smile. 当我吻着你的脸蛋儿让你微笑的时候,我的宝贝,我真切地明白了在晨光里从天上流下来的是什么样的快乐,而夏天的微风吹拂在我的身体上的又是什么样的凉爽——当我吻着你的脸蛋儿让你微笑的时候。
