偶然听到《好大一棵树》，被这简单朴素的小歌词所感动，酝酿译之成英文，又恐水平有限，唯恐玷污邹友开先生的词句，又因太喜欢，忍不住折磨几日，完成心里的小心愿，不当之处，甚多，原谅之。----2014.11.24  于 重庆，北碚区

                                                                          What a Big Tree

                                                                           A sky on your head,

                                                                          A land under your feet.

                                                                          You hold head in the storm of rain and snow.

                                                                           What a big tree!

                                                                         Never afraid of stormy.

                                                                        How many stories hid in the green leaves,

                                                                          with joys and sorrows.

                                                                         You neither pleased in happy,

                                                                           nor wept in pain.

                                                                      You dropped green shade to us

                                                                          that is the note of love.

                                                                          The wind is your song,

                                                                           The cloud is your footsteps.

                                                                           you giving us blessing

                                                                          whether day and night.

                                                                            what a big tree!

                                                                          the green blessing !

                                                                         Your wide heart up the blue sky,

                                                                         And your deep love hide in land.

附中文原文：作词，邹友开先生

                                                                          好大一棵树
                                                                        头顶一个天
                                                                        脚踏一方土
                                                                        风雨中你昂起头
                                                                        冰雪压不服
                                                                     好大一棵树
                                                                    任你狂风呼
                                                                   绿叶中留下多少故事
                                                                       有乐也有苦
                                                                      欢乐你不笑
                                                                      痛苦你不哭
                                                                  撒给大地多少绿荫
                                                                      那是爱的音符
                                                                      风是你的歌
                                                                     云是你脚步
                                                                     无论白天和黑夜
                                                                     都为人类造福
                                                                     好大一棵树
                                                                      绿色的祝福
                                                                   你的胸怀在蓝天
                                                                       深情藏沃土
