“爸爸，爸爸，你上哪儿？

'Father, father, where are you going?

啊，别走那么快吧！

Oh, do not walk so fast!

爸爸，说呀，跟你孩子说话，

Speak, father, speak to your little boy,

不然我就要迷路啦！”

Or else I shall be lost.'

漆黑的夜里，不见了爸爸，

The night was dark, no father was there,

露水淋湿了小孩；

The child was wet with dew;

泥沼又深，小孩流泪，

The mire was deep, and the child did weep,

夜雾向四处飞散开来。

And away the vapour flew.
