当你命我歌唱时，我的心骄傲欲裂，我凝望着的脸，不禁热泪盈眶。

我生命中一切的凝涩与矛盾融化成一片甜柔的谐音——我的爱慕像一只欢乐的鸟，展翅飞越海洋。

我知道你喜欢我的歌唱。我知道只因为我是个歌者，才能走到你的面前。

我用我歌儿的庞大翅膀的边缘，触到了你的双脚，那是我从来不敢想望触到的。

在歌唱中的陶醉，我忘了自己，你本是我的主人，我却称你为朋友。

When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride；and I look to thy face，and tears come to my eyes.

All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmonyand my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.

I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence.

I touch by the edge of the far‐spreading wing of my song thy feet which I could never aspire to reach.

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.
