Shine out, fair Sun, with all your heat
Language: English 
Our translations:  CHI
 Shine out, fair Sun, with all your heat,
   Show all your thousand-coloured light!
 Black Winter freezes [to]1 his seat;
   The grey wolf howls, he does so bite;
 Crookt Age on three knees creeps the street;
   The boneless fish close quaking lies
 And eats for cold his aching feet;
   The stars in icicles arise:

 Shine out, and make this winter night
 Our beauty's Spring, our Prince of Light!

丽日闪耀所有热量,
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the English 
  丽日闪耀所有热量,
    尽显你的千色光芒!
  黑冬僵卧在座位上;
    灰狼嚎叫,将咬人伤;
  拄杖而行老人驼背;
    无骨鱼躺那儿发颤
冷到了吃自己的尾;
    冰柱中的星星出现:

  闪耀,让冬天的晚上
  成为胜春,光线之王!
