A poor orphan girl named Maria 名为玛丽亚一个可怜的孤女

Was walking to market one day 走以市场1天

She stopped for to rest by the road side 她停下来休息的路边

Where a bird with a broken wing lay 凡有折断的翅膀的小鸟躺在

A few moments passed till she saw it 过了一会过去了，直到她看见了

For it's feathers were covered with sand 它的羽毛上布满了沙子

And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling 很快干净，包好行驶

In the warmth of Maria's small hand 在玛丽亚的小手的温暖

She happily gave her last peso 她高兴地给了她生命的最后比索

On a cage made of freshes and twine 在作出freshes和麻线的笼子

She fed it loose corn from the market 她给它宽松的玉米从市场

Watched it grow stronger with time 看着它随着时间的推移变得更加强大

Now the gift giving service was coming 现在送礼的服务是未来

And the church armed with tinsel and light 和教会手持金属丝和轻

An' all of the town folk brought presents 在“全城民俗带来的礼物

To lay by the manger that night 由躺在马槽当晚

There were diamonds, incents and perfumes 有钻石， incents和香水

And packages fit for a king 和包适合国王

But for one ragged bird in his small cage 但在他的小笼子1衣衫褴褛的鸟

Maria had nothing to bring 玛丽亚一点关系都带来

She waited till just before midnight 她一直等到午夜前

So no one would see her go in 因此，没有人会看到她走在

And crying she knelt be the manger 哭，她跪是马槽

For her gift was unworthy of him 对于她的礼物是愧对他

Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness 然后一个声音在黑暗中跟她说话

Maria what brings you to me 玛丽亚什么风把你给我

If the bird in the cage is your offering 如果在笼子里的鸟是你的产品

Open the door let me see 打开门，让我看看

So she trembled she did as he asked her 于是，她颤抖着，她做了，他问她

An' out of the cage the bird flew 在“走出笼子的鸟儿飞

Soaring up into the rafters 飞升成椽子

On a wing that had healed good as new 在那治好了完好如新翼

An' just then the midnight bells rang out 一个“就在这时，午夜的钟声响起

And the little bird started to sing 和小鸟开始唱

A song that no words could recapture 没有的话可以再放一首歌曲

For its beauty was fit for a king 它的美丽是适合国王

Now Maria felt blessed just to listen 现在，玛丽亚感到祝福只是听

To the cascade of notes sweet and long 以音符甜美长级联

As her offering was lifted to heaven 由于她的产品被提升到天堂
