Do you like the sky at night
When the stars are shining bright?
Do you like it in the day
When the clouds all go away?

What I like is the morning sun
Shining on me when I run.
And I also like the rain
Pattering on my windowpane.
Bạn có thích ngắm bầu trời đêm tối
Sao bồi hồi tỏa ánh sáng long lanh ?
Có thích không nhưng buổi sáng mát xanh
Ngàn mây trắng lưng lờ trôi phiêu lãng ?

Tôi thích lắm nắng sớm mai mùa hạ
Tỏa nhẹ nhàng theo mỗi bước chân ta .
thích nhưng khi cuộn minh nghe mưa lạnh
Lộp độp rơi trên ô cửa hiên nhà.
