朋友，送給你這對翅膀 ( Take these wings)

我看到有隻麻雀落在地，看牠的生命似已到 盡頭，

我跪下將牠捧在手心中，牠輕聲對我說，

「朋友，送給你　這對翅膀 ， 學習飛翔越過最高山。

送給你　這對眼睛 ， 學看世上的美事。

送給你　歡欣的歌， 歌頌春天來臨的喜悅 ，

送給你　跳躍的心， 翱翔在﹝翱翔在，翱翔在﹞海的那邊。」

　

我見另有隻麻雀在 沙地，小麻雀生命正開始 起步。

我輕輕將牠捧在手 心中。我微笑對牠說，

「孩子，送給你　這對翅膀 ， 學習飛翔越過最高山。

送給你　這對眼睛 ， 學看世上的美事。

送給你　歡欣的歌， 歌頌春天來臨的喜悅 ，

送給你　跳躍的心， 翱翔在﹝翱翔在，翱翔在﹞海的那邊。」

I found a spar-row ly-ing on the ground;

Her life I knew would soon be at an end.

I knelt be-fore her as she made a sound,─ and lis-tened as she said. "My friend.─

Take these wings─ and learn to fly─ to the high - est moun-tain in the sky;

Take these eyes─ and learn to see─all the things so dear to me.

Take this song─ and learn to sing,─fill your voice with all the joys of spring;─

Take this heart─ and set it free,─ Let it fly─﹝Let it fly, let it fly﹞be-yond the sea."

I found an-oth-er spar-row ly-ing on the sand,

A ti-ny bird whose life had just be-gun.

I picked him and held him in my hand;─ I smiled at him and said, "My son.─

Take these wings─ and learn to fly─ to the high - est moun-tain in the sky;

Take these eyes─ and learn to see─all the things so dear to me.

Take this song─ and learn to sing,─fill your voice with all the joys of spring;─

Take this heart─ and set it free,─ Let it fly─﹝Let it fly, let it fly﹞be-yond the sea."
