The Wind  

I saw you toss the kites on high

And blow the birds about the sky

And all around I heard you pass

Like ladies’ skirts across the grass—

O wind, a-blowing all day long

O wind, that sings so loud a song

I saw the different things you did

But always you yourself you hid

I felt you push, I heard you call

I could not see yourself at all

O wind, a-blowing all day long

O wind, that sings so loud a song

O You that are so strong and cold

O blower, are you young or old

Are you a beast of field or tree

Or just a stronger child than me

O wind, a-blowing all day long

O wind, that sings so loud a song

在你怀里，我看见放飞的希望

在你怀里，我听见雀儿的欢唱

你无处不在

像彩蝶翩跹，把我环绕

啊，温柔的风，时时纵情

啊，美丽的风，刻刻歌唱
