Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia 在阿比西尼亚的海洋一旦

A cultured man with rings 有文化的人与环

Within his ear-lobes 在他的耳垂

Locked the door 锁了门

From which the sun arose 从太阳出现

A man at noon 一名男子中午

With shadows on his cheek bone 在他的腮骨阴影

Singed for sleep 烧焦的睡眠

To use him as a pillow 用他当枕头

His robes of chintz were melting 他的棉布长袍被融化

In the snows 在雪

   

The stars with eyes 眼睛的星星

Embedded in his footprints 嵌在了他的足迹

Wept sweet words 哭花言巧语

From his remembered childhood 从他的童年记忆

Poets of the skies 天空的诗人

Look long and hard 看起来漫长而艰难

   

Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia 在阿比西尼亚的海洋一旦

A cultured man with rings 有文化的人与环

Within his ear-lobes 在他的耳垂

Locked the door 锁了门

From which the sun arose 从太阳出现

   

La, la, la, la, da, da, da, da, la, la, la, la.... 啦，啦，啦，啦，哒，哒，哒，哒，啦，啦，啦，啦....

[Repeat til fade] [重复直到淡出]
