松鼠松鼠，快樂如你

廣袤森林，豐年之息，是你念之所系

心滿意足，清新空氣沁脾

采收堅果，故土寸步不離

?

埋樹籽于沃壤

滅害蟲以勤力

你是機警的護林員，毛茸長尾及地

還森林以清凈，保佳木以繁蔭

?

夜夜酣眠，高枕無憂

不患備糧之不足，不憚儲食之不豐

日日盡歡，福瑞共享

高歌，笑語，蹦跳，上下前后，長樂未央

?

嚴冬漸遠，暖春漸近，歡呼聲不絕于耳

成千上萬株幼苗，紛紛破土

因了你的一腔真愛，野草新綠，小兒新生，林木新發

整座森林一派生機盎然

?

可嘆人類為謀小利，將堅果悉數收歸己有

眾鳥從此飽嘗饑荒之苦

沒有樹籽萌發新苗，森林漸漸萎靡不振

可憐的松鼠們，也因營養不足，早已奄奄一息……

To Squirrels

??????????????????? By Wang Yongli

???????? Happy the squirrels whose wish and care,

???????? The vast forest with the harvest sound,

???????? Content to breathe the fresh native air,

???????? Collect and store the nuts in own ground.

????????

???????? You bury the tree weeds in the fertile soil,

???? ????You wipe out insect pests with diligence,

???????? As an alert ranger patrols with a big furry tail,

???????? You clean the forest and keep it in magnificence.

????????

???????? Sound sleep by night, safe and ease,

???????? You never worry the food for plenty in store,

???????? Hold a party by day, and together mixed with please,

???????? Singing, chattering and jumping up and down, aft and fore.

?

???????? Hailing for the winter’s gone, and the spring’s come,

???????? Thousands and hundreds saplings break through the ground,

???????? The tree weeds become new lives under the squirrels’ love,

??????? ?New babies, new woods make forest energetic and luxuriant.

?

???????? But since men collected all the nuts away in the hill,

???????? Many birds badly have been suffering from starvation,

???????? The forest lost energy for no new weeds fill,

???????? The poor squirrels are dying from malnutrition…
