小黄鸟,停在高高的香蕉树上,
小黄鸟,你就和我一样形单影只。
Did your lady friend leave your nestnest n.巢, 窝, 休息所 again?

You re more lucky than me.

Yellow bird, up high in a banana tree.

Let her fly away, in the sky away.
Make a town and soon take her from night to noon.
Black and yellow you, like banana too.
They might pick you someday.
你的女友是否离开你的巢穴?
这会让你很难过,也会让我感到悲伤。
你也飞走吧,翱翔于天空中。
你比我幸运很多。
我也曾有过女友,
如今她和我不在一起。
漂亮的姑娘都一样,
她们带着温柔飞往他乡。
小黄鸟,停在高高的香蕉树上,
小黄鸟,你像我一样形单影只。
让她飞走吧,翱翔于天空中。
有个小镇子,从夜晚到正午。
黑黄相间的小黄鸟看起来也像香蕉,
有天她们会来选你。
Wish that I were a yellow bird,
I d fly away with you.
But I am not a yellow bird,
So here I sit, nothing left to do.
Yellow bird…
但愿我是只小黄鸟啊,
我会与你一起远走高飞。
可我不是一只小黄鸟,
所以我只身一人静静坐着。
小黄鸟……
这首《小黄鸟》是由杰出的四兄弟合唱团演唱的一首流行歌曲,描写了一位青年男子失恋后的心理感受。歌曲以第一人称的口吻,似在自言自语地叙述自己心中失恋后的伤心、孤独无助的心情;也似与小黄鸟对话以解脱烦恼聊以自慰。
