How would you like to go up in a swing,

Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,

Till I can see so wide,

Rivers and trees and cattle and all

Over the country side

Till I look down on the garden green,

Down on the roof so brown

Up in the air I go flying again,

Up in the air and down!

 

如何可以盪鞦韆盪得高高的，

高到藍藍的天空呢？

噢，那應該就是最舒暢的事情

就是一個小孩子也能做到！

盪得高高的在空中，牆壁也返過了，

高到可以看見廣闊的天際，

河流，樹木，牛群跟整個

鄉郊

盪得高到鳥瞰綠色的草原，

咖啡色屋頂

高到好像在天空飛翔，

在天際盤旋！
