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。
