(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

We're skydiving elephants, bulging¹ and bold.
We're dazzling and daring; a sight to behold².
We leap from our airplane at dizzying heights,
to soar through the sky on spectacular flights.
Our airborne maneuvers³ are one-of-a-kind.
We spin in the air with our trunks intertwined.
We tuck and we tumble, we twist and we twirl.
We somersault freely, we wiggle and whirl.
We flip⁴ and we flutter while turning our tails,
unfurling our ears like magnificent sails.
We swivel and swim in a synchronized⁵ crawl
or swan-dive in spirals as earthward we fall.
The onlookers⁶ gawk in an awestricken trance
to witness our wonderful aerial dance.
They clap at our kicks and rejoice at our rolls,
and shriek⁷ as our landings leave walloping holes.
