啊,在愉快的人生路上,
谁将与我为伴?
一位无比快乐的伙伴,
敢于放声大笑
沉醉在异想天开的欢乐中,
如开心的孩子般,
在田野和路旁盛放的鲜花间,
一路伴我前行。
啊,在疲惫的人生路上,
谁将与我为伴?
一位朋友,心明眼亮
能看到天色渐暗的草地外,
星星在黄昏的宁静中闪烁——
一位朋友,理解且敢于说出
勇敢、甜美的话语,
以振奋途中行人,
一路伴我前行。
有如此伙伴,如此朋友为伴,
我愿一路走下去,直至天荒地老。
穿过夏日的艳阳,冬日的寒雪,
之后呢?——再会,我们还会相见!
O who will walk a mile with me
Along life’s merry way?
A comrade blithe and full of glee,
Who dares to laugh out loud and free
And let his frolic fancy play,
Like a happy child, through the flowers gay
That fill the field and fringe the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me
Along life’s weary way?
A friend whose heart has eyes to see
The stars shine out o’er the darkening lea,
And the quiet rest at the end o’the day—
A friend who knows, and dares to say,
The brave, sweet words that cheer the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend,
I fain would walk till journey’s end,
Through summer sunshine, winter rain,
