A Song of a Little Sparrow

A Song of a Little Sparrow

Only a step away, I would catch you.
But I gave up.
I gave up because
An old sparrow I saw.

Under the roof, my son stood in the shadow.
Got it? Son asked.
All of a sudden, I wanted to cry.
Little sparrow, it was for you.
You were afraid, trembling.
You wings were so tender, even too tender to fly

Let us go then, go, my son.
I would buy you a toy tank, a tank.
I could not explain my feelings to you
Or the hostility of the old sparrow.

小麻雀之歌

一步之遥，我就能捉到你
但我放弃了
我放弃是因为
我看到了老麻雀

屋檐下，儿子站在隐影中
儿子说，抓到没有？
我忽然，想流淚
小小的麻雀呀，我是，为你
你很恐惧，你颤抖
你的翅膀是那么软，甚至，还不能飞

我们走吧，走吧，乖儿子
我给你买坦克，坦克
我无法解释，我此时的心情
和老麻雀的敌意
