Sing a Song of People
唱首人們的歌
Sing a song of people
walking fast or slow;
People in the city
Up and down they go.

來唱一首人們的歌
慢步逛或快步走
城市裡頭人真多
熙來呀攘往走

People on the sidewalk,
people on the bus;
people passing, passing,
in back and front of us.
People on the subway
underneath the ground;
people riding taxis
round and round and round

人行道上都是人
公車上面還是人
人們過呀過
走在後面和跟前
地下鐵內都是人
就是地表的下面
人們乘坐計程車
繞呀繞呀真了得

People with their hats on,
going in the doors;
People with unbrellas
when it rains and pours.
People in tall buildings
and in stores below;
Riding elevators
up and down they go.

人們帽子頭上戴
走著走著們裡鑽
人們稱的傘真多
碰到傾盆大雨落
人們有的住高樓
還有樓下店裡頭
搭上升降電梯後
他們上下匆匆走

People walking singly,
people in a crowd;
People saying nothing,
people talking loud.
People laughing, smiling,
grumpy people too;
People who just hurry
and never look at you!

人們哼著歌來把路走
擠進群眾裡頭人真多
有的人們什麼也不說
有的人麼講話大聲吼
有人開懷有人只微笑
也有脾氣來了蹦蹦跳
還有人麼急急忙忙走
從不看人也不回個頭

Sing a song of people
who like to come and go;
Sing of city people
you see but never know!

來唱一首人們的歌
他們來回可真樂
唱首城市人們的歌
看見不知為了何
