When I was down beside the sea

　　A wooden spade they gave to me

　　To dig the sandy shore.

　　My holes were empty like a cup

　　In every hole the sea came up

　　Till it could come no more

　　Little drops of water

　　Little grains of sand

　　Make the mighty ocean

　　And a pleasant land

　　当我在海边嬉戏

　　我用他们给我的木铲

　　挖那松软的沙地

　　我挖的小洞像是一个茶杯

　　从那里海水慢慢浮起

　　直到它去无可去

　　小小的水滴

　　小小的沙粒

　　汇集成无际的大海

　　和美丽的土地
