To an Isle in the Water 去那水中一小岛

Shy one, shy one,
Shy one of my heart,
She moves in the firelight
Pensively apart.

She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.

She carries in the candles,
And lights the curtained room,
Shy in the doorway
And shy in the gloom;

And shy as a rabbit,
Helpful and shy.
To an isle in the water
With her would I fly.

羞答答，羞答答，
我羞答答的心上人，
炉火映照她忙碌，
心事重重不肯走近。

她端进碗碟一摞摞，
一排排儿摆放好。
我愿带上她一起走
去那水中一小岛。

她拿进蜡烛一枝枝，
照亮遮严的屋子， 10
羞答答站在屋门口，
羞答答在暗影里；

羞答答象个小兔子，
羞答答的人儿好。
我愿带上她一起逃
却那水中一小岛。
