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 coming to me. 


　　我的心像只鸣啼的小鸟 


　　在柔润的技条上筑着巢; 


　　我的心像棵苹果树 


　　被累累的硕果压弯了腰; 


　　我的心像个虹彩的贝壳 


　　在平静的海上轻轻荡漾; 


　　我的心比这些还更欢畅 


　　因为我的爱情已经来到。

   Raise me a dais of silk and down; 


　　Hang it with vair and purple dyes; 


　　Carve it with doves and pomegranates 


　　And peacocks with a hundred eyes; 


　　Work it in gold and silver grapes, 


　　In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys; 


　　Because the birthday of my life is coming, 


　　My love is coming to me. 


　　为我造一座丝绒的讲坛 


　　用金色和紫色颜料涂染; 


　　在上面雕刻鸽子和石榴 


　　还有孔雀长着一百只眼; 


　　再用金银葡萄把它妆扮 


　　树叶和鹫尾草银光闪闪; 


　　因为我的生日已经来临， 


　　因为我的爱情已经来到。
