The Winter it is past

Language: Scottish (Scots)

Our translations: CHI

The Winter it is past, 
and the summer comes at last,
And the small birds, they sing on ev'ry tree;
Now ev'ry thing is glad,
while I am very sad,
Since my true love is parted from me.

The rose upon the brier,
by the waters running clear,
May have charms for the linnet or the bee;
Their little loves are blest,
and their little hearts at rest,
But my true love is parted from me.

冬天已经无痕，/ 夏天终于已来临，

Language: Chinese (中文) after the Scottish (Scots)

冬天已经无痕，
夏天终于已来临，
还有小鸟，树上歌唱不歇；
现在万事大吉，
于我难过之时，
因为我和真爱要分别。

蔷薇在石楠上，
清澈水流其旁，
吸引着小蜜蜂和朱顶雀；
其爱多么幸福，
心儿得到满足，
但是我和真爱要分别。
