If I were president, the tanks

Would be playhouses for the kids.

Boxes of candy would fall from the sky.

The mortars would fire balloons,

And the guns would blossom with flowers.

 

All the world’s children would sleep

in peace unbroken by alerts or by shooting.

The refugees would return to their villages and we will start anew.

 

If I were president.

 

如果我是總統，坦克

將是孩子們的遊戲屋。

盒子裡的糖果會從天而降。

迫擊砲會發射氣球，

槍會開滿鮮花。

 

全世界的孩子都會睡覺

睡得平靜，警報或射擊不會打斷。

難民將返回他們的村莊，我們將重新開始。

 

如果我是總統。
