Spring 春天

Thomas Nash

SPRING, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing--
   Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay--
   Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet--
   Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

   Spring, the sweet Spring!

春，香甜的春，一年中欢快的国君；
令万物醒酝，令少女环舞如裙，
寒意已似逡巡，美鸟婉转鸣韵，
    咕咕，啾—啾，噗—呜，嘟—唯嗒—噢！

山楂和野榆装点村舍多欢愉，
羔羊嬉戏自娱，牧童整日笛音愈，
我们听百余鸟鸣那欢调如竽，
    咕咕，啾—啾，噗—呜，嘟—唯嗒—噢！

田野焕发清新，雏菊亲吻脚胫，
情侣相会笑迎，老妇坐阳养性，
大街小巷里的音符如此愉悦令耳听，
    咕咕，啾—啾，噗—呜，嘟—唯嗒—噢！
        春！香甜的春！
