What does little birdie say, 小鳥說些什麼呢？

In her nest at peep of day? 在這黎明初曉的小巢中？

Let me fly, says little birdie, 小鳥說，讓我飛，

Mother, let me fly away, 媽媽，讓我飛走吧。

Birdie, rest a little longer, 寶貝，稍留久一會兒，

Till the little wings are stronger. 等到那對小翅膀再長硬些兒。

So she rests a little longer, 因此牠又多留了一會兒，

Then she flies away. 然而牠還是飛走了。
