Dark brown is the river,

Golden is the sand.

It flows along forever, 

With trees on either hand.

Green leaves afloating,

Castles of the foam,

Boats of mine afloating

Where will all come home?

On goes the river and out past the mill,

Away down the valley,

Away down the hill.

Away down the river,

A hundred miles or more,

Other little children shall bring my boats a shore.

 

黑褐色是河流。   

金是沙子。   

它永遠流淌，   

兩邊都有樹。 

綠葉飄動，        

泡沫的城堡，   

我的船漂浮著   

所有人都會回家嗎？  

沿著河水，然後經過磨坊，   

遠離山谷，   

遠離山坡。   

遠離河流， 

一百英里或更多，   

其他小孩把我的船帶上岸。
