你会在海上闪烁吗?
Will you glimmer on the sea?
你会把矛头
Will you fling your spear-head
投到岸上吗?
On the shore
我们又该报以哪个音符?
What note shall we pitch?
我们有一支歌
We have a song,
我们在岸上分享箭镞
On the bank we share our arrows;
松弛的箭弦泄露我们的音调:
The loosed string tells our note:
噢,快跑吧,
O flight,
快把她带到歌声里
bring her swiftly to our song.
她如此巍峨
She is great,
我们得用松树量身
We measure her by the pine trees.
