7 A.M., the usual morning lineup 七点一到，起床了整装待发
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean 先做家务，把地板扫干净
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up 打磨上蜡，洗衣服，拖地擦亮
Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15! 从头再扫一遍，也没过多少时间
And so I'll read a book 接下来读本书
Or maybe two or three 一本不够再读
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery' 画幅新的画，装点客厅墙壁
I'll play guitar and knit 弹完吉他编织
And cook and basically 边做饭边幻想
Just wonder when will my life begin? 何时才有属于我的生活
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking 午饭过后玩一玩烘点点心
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess 手工、芭蕾、和自己下盘棋
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making 陶土、蜡烛、演一出独角戏
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, Take a climb, sew a dress! 伸展腰身再画，爬高，缝条——裙子！
And I'll reread the books 然后再温习下
If I have time to spare 如果还有时间
I'll paint the walls some more 要不再画些画
I'm sure there's room somewhere 墙上还能装下
And then I'll brush and brush 然后我梳头发
and brush and brush my hair 长长长长头发
Stuck in the same place I've always been 困在我总是呆的原地
And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin' 我一直幻想、幻想
And wonderin' and wonderin' 何时、才有
When will my life begin? 属于我的生活？
And tomorrow night 等到明天
The lights will appear 等光又会出现
Just like they do on my birthday each year 就像我以前、每个生日都是
What is it like 风灯点亮
Out there where they glow? 夜空会怎样？
Now that I'm older 现在我长大
Mother might just 妈妈也许
Let me go... 让我走
