Do you like the sky at night?
When the stars are shinning bright?
Do you like it in the day
When the clouds all go away?
What I like is the morning sun
Shinning on me when I run
And I also like the rain
Pattering on my windowpane
Bạn có thích bầu trời đêm
Khi những vì sao đang toả sáng?
Bạn có thích bầu trời ban ngày
Khi những đám mây đều bay đi?
Tôi thích mặt trời buổi sáng
Toả nắng lên tôi khi chạy
Và tôi cũng thích mưa
Rơi lộp bộp trên ô cửa sổ
