'Twas such a little—little boat

这么小这么小一艘船

颠簸到港口！

That toddled down the bay!

这么大这么大一片海

'Twas such a gallant—gallant sea

召唤它离开！

That beckoned it away!

这么贪这么贪的海浪

'Twas such a greedy, greedy wave

舔它过来，从岸边；

That licked it from the Coast—

也从不猜是什么庄严的航行

Nor ever guessed the stately sails

葬送了我小小的船！

My little craft was lost!
