What is this life if, full of care,
生活會變成什麽樣，假如整日充滿著憂患
We have no time to stand and stare!
我們沒時間去駐足欣賞
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
沒時間去站在樹枝底下
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
像牛羊那樣久久的凝視
No time to see, when woods we pass,
沒時間去細賞我們穿越的大森林
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
那松鼠在草叢中把果實珍藏
No time to see,in broad daylight，
沒時間去想壹想 為什麽
Streams full of stars,like skies at night.
倒影在溪流中的星星 像晴空的夜晚
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
沒時間去細想 那佳人的回眸壹瞥
And watch her feet,how they can dance.
欣賞那腳 舞姿是多麽擅長
No time to wait till her mouth can
無暇等那佳人紅唇輕啟
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
盈盈的笑眸更加動人
A poor life this if, full of care,
生活可悲可厭，倘若它充滿著憂患
We have no time to stand and stare.
我們沒時間去駐足欣賞
