Shine out, fair Sun, with all your heat
Language: English
Available translation(s): 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!
