Easter Bunny

Looking kind of funny

With your basket of eggs

Children singing

“What’s the bunny bringing

For me on Easter Day?”

Mom is cooking

While we’re out there looking

For the eggs hidden away

After church, we

Gathered around with family

On this Easter Day

* Two thousand years ago

Jesus died for our sins

Remember his resurrection

And the joy it brings *

Flowers blooming

Springtime’s looming

Everything is coming alive

Easter colours

Yellow, blue and others

Tell us spring has arrived

Children are playing

And everybody’s saying

“So good to see you today!”

We’re all together

The merrier the better

On this Easter holiday

“Good to see you today!”

Repeat *

Flowers are blooming

And springtime’s looming

Oh what a wonderful day

We’re all together

The more of us the better

On this Easter holiday

A lovely Easter holiday

I like my Easter holiday

復活節象征——兔子和彩蛋

兔子是復活節的象征，因為它的繁殖力很強，被視為新生命的創造者。大人們繪聲繪色地告訴孩子們彩蛋是兔子下的，會孵化成小兔子。許多家庭還會專門給孩子準備一個裝彩蛋的小籃子。復活節這天大人們會在草坪里藏些彩蛋，讓孩子們玩找彩蛋的游戲。復活節兔子和彩蛋也成為節日期間最搶手的商品。商場出售各式各樣的兔子和彩蛋形狀的商品，食品店和糖果店擺滿用巧克力制成的兔子和彩蛋。兔子神態可愛，彩蛋花樣繁多，小的和雞蛋差不多，大的有甜瓜那么大，吃起來味道香甜。
