萤火虫

Fireflies

本篇适合:欣赏、跟唱

by Connie Talbot from Beautiful World

炎炎夏日,当夜幕降临,乡间田野总会看到一些“小精灵”闪着光,漫天飞舞,点缀夜空,美得就好像落在凡间的星星,让人惊叹。小朋友们知道它们是什么吗?对啦,它们就是美丽的萤火虫!

萤火虫成群结队给我们带来美景,但它们的生命却很短暂,一般只有几天。因此,大家记得要珍惜它们的美,好好保护它们哟!

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

’Cause they’d fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You’d think me rude

but I would just stand and stare

’Cause I’d get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

* I’d like to make myself believe

That planet earth turns slowly

It’s hard to say

That I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep

’Cause everything is never as it seems

(When I fall asleep) *

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

’Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep

(Please take me away from here)

When I’m far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies

I’m weird ’cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I’ll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

’Cause I saved a few

And I keep them in a jar (jar, jar)

Repeat *×2

I’d like to make myself believe

That planet earth turns slowly
