本曲大意



这首歌是一位女孩对她所住的环境所做的礼赞。想想，如果我们住的地方也像那样子的话，那该有多好！



英文歌词



When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill, and kisses the roses round my window sill, then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill.

Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee! It gives me a thrill to wake up in the morning to the mockingbirds trill. Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee! Theres peace and goodwill. Youre welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill.

When its late in the evening, I climb up the hill, and survey all my kingdom while everythings still. Only me and the sky, and an old whippoorwill, singing songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill.



歌词翻译

当早晨的太阳从山顶上升起，照着我窗台四周的玫瑰，当我听到鸟儿在反舌鸟山的树梢上鸣叫时，我的心充满了快乐。

啁啾的叫声叫醒了我使我感到心神振奋。啁啾的叫声充满着和平及友好的感觉。你就像反舌鸟山上的花儿一样受欢迎。啦，啦，啦……

当夜晚来临时，我爬上山头，眺望所有我的王国。此时万籁俱寂，只有我，天空以及一只夜鹰，在黄昏时，在反舌鸟山上歌唱着。
