1. Why do you come to my apple tree, Little bird so gray?
Twit-twit, twit-twit, twit-twit-twee!
That was all he would say.
2. Why do you lock your rosy feet So closely round the spray?
Twit-twit, twit-twit, twit-tweet!
That was all he would say.
3. Why on the topmost bough do you get, Little bird so gray?
Twit-twit-twee! twit-twit-twit!
That was all he would say.
4. Where is your mate? come, answer me, Little bird so gray.
Twit-twit-twit! twit-twit-twee!
That was all he would say.
( Alice Cary )

你为何停下脚步,
紧密绕着树枝飞?
喳喳喳,喳喳喳,
那就是它想说的话。

小灰鸟,
你为何飞到枝顶上?
喳喳喳,喳喳喳,
那就是它想说的话。

小灰鸟,
告诉我同伴在哪里?
喳喳喳,喳喳喳,
那就是它想说的话。
