旁白 : 有一个女孩她从小爱养丹顶鹤 在她大学毕业以后她仍回到她养鹤的地方

可是有一天她为救那只受伤的丹顶鹤 滑进了沼泽地就再也没有上来

走过那条小河你可曾听说 有一位女孩她曾经来过

走过那片芦苇坡你可曾听说 有一位女孩她留下一首歌

为何片片白云悄悄落泪 为何阵阵风儿为她诉说喔 ~ 啊 ~

还有一群丹顶鹤轻轻地轻轻地飞过

走过那条小河你可曾听说 有一位女孩她曾经来过

走过那片芦苇坡你可曾听说 有一位女孩她再也没来过

只有片片白云为她落泪 只有阵阵风儿为她诉说喔 ~ 啊 ~

还有一群丹顶鹤轻轻地轻轻地飞过 只有片片白云为她落泪

只有阵阵风儿为她诉说喔 ~ 啊 ~ 还有一群丹顶鹤轻轻地轻轻地飞过

啊 ~~~~ 啊 ~~~~

Birds are our friends.So loving birds is loving the nature.Loving the nature is loving our earth.Loving the earth is loving ourselves!
