這首歌這半年常常聽到，很輕快的一首歌。上週末我拿來讓我的英文課學生們聽，並看看裡頭的歌詞，學英文。每個句子都懂，卻有點搞不清楚歌詞裡面要說的。所以上網搜尋比較好的翻譯在下面。對於英文的意境，我還不是很能掌握呢，還有很多進步的空間。

You would not believe your eyes
你絕不會相信自己的眼睛
If ten million fireflies
若有千萬隻螢火蟲
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
在我入睡之際把世界亮起
'Cause they'd fill the open air
因爲它們會充斥曠野山林
And leave teardrops everywhere
留下點點淚珠兒遍地
You'd think me rude
就算會被罵無禮
But I would just stand and stare
我也要站在那盯著瞧目不轉睛
I'd like to make myself believe
我想要讓自己相信
That planet Earth turns slowly
地球星的運行 是悠悠哉哉地
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
不好說我寧願保持清醒 當我其實已睡去
'Cause everything is never as it seems
因爲萬事皆不像表面看上去
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
因爲我會被摟抱一千下
From ten thousand lightning bugs
來自一萬隻蟲蟲電光
As they tried to teach me how to dance
當它們嘗試著帶領我舞一雙
A foxtrot above my head
跳一支foxtrot在我頭頂上
A sock hop beneath my bed
來一段sock hop在我床底下
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
迪斯可球險險用一根綫懸掛
[註：foxtrot跟sock hop都是雙人舞名]

(When I fall asleep)
（在我入睡之際）
Leave my door open just a crack
房門故意微微開著
(Please take me away from here)
（拜托帶我離開這裡）
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
因爲覺得自己好像失眠症患者
(Please take me away from here)
（拜托帶我離開這裡）
Why do I tire of counting sheep
我怎麽就厭倦了數羊呢
(Please take me away from here)
（拜托帶我離開這裡）
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
在我累到睡不着之際
To ten million fireflies
對千萬隻螢火蟲而言
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
我很奇怪竟討厭掰掰
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
它們說再見時我眼眶霧蒙蒙了起來
But I'll know where several are
但我知道還能從哪找出幾隻來
If my dreams get real bizarre
要是我的夢足夠怪誕
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
因爲我把一些留了起來裝進玻璃罐

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
因爲我的夢有好多好多 就要滿溢
