光忙算什么生活

What is this life if, full of care,

这还叫什么生活，光是忙忙碌碌，

We have no time to stand and stare.

没有停一停，看一看的时间。

No time to stand beneath the boughs

没有时间站在树荫下，

And stare as long as sheep and cows.

象牛羊那样尽情瞻望。

No time to see, when woods we pass,

没有时间看到，在走过树林时，

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

松鼠把壳果往草丛里收藏。

No time to see, in broad daylight,

没有时间看到，在大好阳光下，

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

溪流像夜空星群点点闪闪。

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

没有时间注意到少女的流盼，

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

观赏她双足起舞蹁跹。

No time to wait till her mouth can

没有时间等待她眉间的柔情，

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

展开成唇边的微笑。

A poor life this if, full of care,

这生活就一定贫乏，倘若光是忙碌，

We have no time to stand and stare.

没有停一停、看一看的时间。
