Moon, so round and yellow 月亮，那么圆，那么黄
Moon, so round and yellow Looking from on high How I love to see you Shining in the sky
月亮，那么圆，那么黄 从高处往下看 我多想见到你啊 在天空中闪耀
Often and often I wonder When I see you there How they get to light you Hanging in the air 我常常在想
当我看到你在那里 它们是如何照亮你的 悬挂在空中
Where you go at morning When the night is past
And the sun comes peeping Over the hills at last 你早上去哪里 当夜晚过去 太阳出来了 终于爬过了山
Sometimes I will watch you, Slyly overhead
When you think I’m sleeping Snugly in my bed 有时我会看着你， 狡猾地挂在头顶 当你想睡觉的时候 舒服地躺在我的床上
