Explanation:

“春晓”就是春天的早晨。春天一夜酣睡，醒来时不知不觉已经天亮了，处处都可以听到悦耳动听的小鸟的鸣叫声。夜里沙沙的风雨声，想想外面不知会有多少花瓣儿被吹落在地上。
“春晓(chūnxiǎo)” refers to the morning in spring. In my deep slumber in one spring night, day has broken without being noticed. My ears come the voices of chirping everywhere when I am awakened. A vague memory reminds me of the wind and rain in the night before, and now I am wondering how many flowers are fallen down to the ground.

诗人从听觉的角度描绘了雨后春天早晨的景色，表现了春天里诗人内心的喜悦和对大自然的热爱。春天在诗人的笔下是一个鸟语花香、活灵活现生机勃的。
The poem describes spring morning scenery after the rain from the perspective of hearing，which demonstrates his innermost joy and deep love of nature.It also depicts a lively spring world with singing birds and fragrant flowers。
