太阳开始隐面孔
尽管慢爬向下方
挥舞宝石炫灿烂
闪耀金色王冠上
时间流淌光谱逝
黑暗踏足大地上

小小星星纷至来
尽情闪烁欢笑光
接连穿行过暗空
映射生辉地球上
天显钻石千百万
夸耀珠宝价高昂

月亮皎洁放光芒
缓缓出现天空上
昼夜交替不容思
步履轻盈来上岗
绝无宝石能相比
月晕环绕她脸庞

Jewels of the Sky

The sun begins to hide her face
While slowly creeping down
Then brandishes her brilliant jewels
Upon a golden crown
The spectrum disappears in time
And darkness treads the ground

The little stars come one by one
And twinkle in their mirth
Popping through the dark of space
Reflecting on the earth
The sky shows off a million diamonds
Flaunting jems of worth

The moon has but a subtle glow
As she appears in space
No timely yearn, she waits her turn
And moves at lunar pace
No jewels can quite compare to this:
A halo round her face
