Wake up! Class 5: Subject- English Lesson 8

Wake up! Wake up!
It’s a lovely day.
Oh! Please get up
And come to play.
The birds are singing in the trees,
And you can hear the buzzing bees.
Wake up! Wake up!
It’s a lovely day.

उठो! उठो!
यह एक प्यारा दिन है।
ओह! कृपया उठो
और खेलने के लिए आओ।
पेड़ों में पक्षी गा रहे हैं,
और तुम भिनभिनाती हुई मधुमक्खियों को सुन सकते हो।
उठो! उठो!
यह एक प्यारा दिन है।


Oh! Please get up
And come and play.
It’s much too late to lie in bed,
So hurry up, you sleepy head.
Wash and dress
And come on out –
Everyone is up and about.
The cow, the horses, the ducks
And the sheep,
The tiniest chicken
Cheep-cheep-cheep
Wake up!


ओह! कृपया उठो
और खेलने के लिए आओ।
बिस्तर पर लेटने के लिए बहुत देर हो चुकी है,
इसलिए जल्दी करो, तुम नींद में डूबे हुए हो।
नहाओ और कपड़े पहनो
और बाहर आओ –
हर कोई उठ गया है।
गाय, घोड़े, बत्तखें
और भेड़ें,
सबसे छोटी मुर्गी
चीप-चीप-चीप
उठो!


– C. Fletcher
