Children by the water banks 由水银行孩子

Laughing long and loud 笑长而响亮

Changbai's high, fine western peaks 长白山的高，精峰西

Just beneath the clouds 正下方的云

   

Currents in the water 在水流

Churning in their course 翻腾在他们的课程

Body of a sea lion 海狮的身体

Head just like a horse 头就像一匹马

   

Preacher in the soft, brown sand 传教士在软，棕色沙

Begins to speak his peace 开始讲他的和平

High wings in the treetops 高翅膀在树梢

Low flying winter geese 低空飞行的大雁冬天

   

No one taking pictures 没有人拍照

Everybody still 大家还

And then the water sought its course again 然后水再寻找它的过程

The way that waters will 的方式，将水

   

No one at the lakeside now 没有人在湖边现在

Moon up in the sky 月亮在天空

Night birds in the dragon spruce 在衫等晚上鸟

Moaning long and high 呻吟长高

   

Backstroking on the surface Backstroking的表面上

Moonlight on its face 月光照在它的脸上

Floats the Tianchi monster 浮在天池怪兽

Staring into space 凝视太空

   

Out around the temple now 围绕寺庙现在

Narcissus in bloom 水仙盛开

Sensors packed with sandalwood 传感器装檀香

Send smoke into the room 发烟走进房间

   

Children in the sand outside 在沙外的孩子

On their hands and knees 在他们的手和膝盖

Sketching pictures all day long 素描图片整天

Of stranger things than these 比这更奇怪的事情
