Its a gift to be simple, Its a gift to be free,
这是礼物，是单纯，是自由
Its the gift to come down where you ought to be,
是向往的地方下来的礼物
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
当我们发现自己站对了位置
Will be in the valley of love and delight.
这礼物就在爱与喜乐的山谷中
When true simplicity is gained,
当我们有了真正的单纯
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
就不会以屈腰顺服为耻
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
我们会乐意回转
Till by turning, turning we come round right
直到回到主的怀抱
Its a gift to be simple, Its a gift to be free,
这是礼物，是单纯，是自由
Its a gift to come down where you ought to be,
是向往的地方下来的礼物
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
当我们发现自己站对了位置

歌曲背景
《simple Gifts》是著名的美国作曲家“柯普兰”在他做的芭蕾舞曲《阿帕拉契之春》(Appalachian Spring)中，便应用了此旋律。近年来在国际间大放异彩的「火焰之舞」和英国的“Blast”都在表演中使用这首曲调，甚至连国内电视广告也拿来当配乐，可见此歌曲受欢迎的程度了。
'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.
Refrain:
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning we come round right
'Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return,
'Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn,
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day,
Then we'll all live together and we'll all learn to say,
Refrain:
'Tis the gift to have friends and a true friend to be,
'Tis the gift to think of others not to only think of "me",
And when we hear what others really think and really feel,
Then we'll all live together with a love that is real.
简单的礼物 中文歌词
这是礼物，
这是单纯，是自由，是上头下来的礼物。
当我们发现自己站对了位置，
这礼物就在爱与喜乐的山谷中。
当我们有了真正的单纯，
就不会以屈腰顺服为耻，
我们会乐意回转，直到回转向主。
