农夫称赞鸟能干
                    可把糟蹋庄稼的昆虫吃完
                    好极了！它当然能提高量产
                    一年丰光无限

                    鸟听了，并不以为然
                    说了几句平淡乏味话
                    我们不是喜欢吃昆虫
                    “随心所欲”只是我们的一个习惯

                    只要你们用杀虫剂把虫子杀完
                    我们不会有任何意见
                    记住！事实是鸟总是吃喝玩乐
                    当没有昆虫能捕获
                    我们，鸟儿，肯定吃你的庄稼

                    Talks between a farmer and a bird

                    A farmer praises a bird for its capability
                    Of eating up all the insects upon the crops
                    Fantastic! It certainly contributes to high yields
                    Of crops enough for everyone a good year

                    The bird listened but didn't think appropriate
                    Yielding a few words plain and insipid
                    Eating up insects is not something we favor
                    "Eat as you like" is just us a habit

                    Provided you guys wipe out worms by insecticides
                    We would not make any bits of advice
                    As a fact everyone remembers, birds drink and eat
                    When no insects could capture
                    We, the birds, eat your crops for sure
