When in April the sweet showers fall 当四月温柔的甘霖普降
That pierce the drought of March to the root and all 浸润三月每寸干旱封疆The veins are bathed in liquor of such power 把大地上生灵万物滋养As brings about the engendering of the flower; 它的力量催得百花芬芳When also Zephyrus with his sweet breath, 和煦西风携带甜蜜气息Exhales an air in every grove and heath, 泽被一片片丛林和荒地

Of England, down to Canterbury they wend, 从英格兰到坎特伯雷去 To seek the holy blissful martyr, quick 朝觐身受福泽的殉道者
To give his help to them when they were sick 他曾护佑过广大受难者
