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.
