於是那欢快的小男孩们四处游荡，/ 如此喜悦地穿越山丘与山谷，/ 蔷薇的芬芳穿过荆棘丛 / 将随温柔的夏风飘散：/ 每个清晨，大自然含笑赐予，/ 那贫苦卑微的农夫也得一份，/ 云雀从草丛中振翅而上，/ 将悠扬的音符送向天际。yú shì nà huān kuài de xiǎo nán hái men sì chù yóu dàng，/ rú cǐ xǐ yuè dì chuān yuè shān qiū yǔ shān gǔ，/ qiáng wēi de fēn fāng chuān guò jīng jí cóng / jiāng suí wēn róu de xià fēng piāo sàn：/ měi gè qīng chén， dà zì rán hán xiào cì yǔ，/ nà pín kǔ bēi wēi de nóng fū yě dé yī fèn，/ yún què cóng cǎo cóng zhōng zhèn chì ér shàng，/ jiāng yōu yáng de yīn fú sòng xiàng tiān jì。

Then the merry little boys they will ramble, / So gleesome, o’er mountain and dale, / Where the sweets of the rose through the bramble / Will be blown by the mild summer gale: / Then a share of Nature’s smiles each morning / To the poor humble peasant will be given. / While the lark from his covert he is soaring, / His musical notes to the heaven.
