To an Isle in the Water
- 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.
去水中的一小岛
- 羞答答，羞答答，
- 羞答答的心上人，
- 炉火照，她忙活，
- 心事重啊躲着人。
- 端进碟，一摞摞，
- 一排排儿摆放好。
- 我愿她，一起走，
- 去水中的一小岛。
- 擎进烛，一枝枝，
- 挂帘子的屋照亮；
- 羞答答，门口躲，
- 羞答答哟暗处藏；
- 羞答答，像兔子，
- 羞答答呀又勤劳。
- 我愿她，一起逃，
- 去水中的一小岛。
