我渴想到河的对岸去，
在那边，好些船只一行儿系在竹竿上；
人们在早晨乘船渡过那边去，肩上扛着犁头，去耕耘他们的远处的田；
在那边，牧人使他们鸣叫着的牛游泳到河旁的牧场去；
黄昏的时候，他们都回家了，只留下豺狼在这满长着野草的岛上哀叫。
妈妈，如果你不在意，我长大的时候，要做这渡船的船夫。
据说有好些古怪的池塘藏在这个高岸之后。
雨过去了，一群一群的野鹜飞到那里去，茂盛的芦苇在岸边四围生长，水鸟在那里生蛋；
竹鸡带着跳舞的尾巴，将它们细小的足印印在洁净的软泥上；
黄昏的时候，长草顶着白花，邀月光在长草的波浪上浮游。
妈妈，如果你不在意，我长大的时候，要做这渡船的船夫。
我要自此岸至彼岸，渡过来，渡过去，所有村中正在那儿沐浴的男孩女孩，都要诧异地望着我。
太阳升到中天，早晨变为正午了，我将跑到你那里去，说道：“妈妈，我饿了！”
一天完了，影子俯伏在树底下，我便要在黄昏中回家来。
我将永不同爸爸那样，离开你到城里去做事。
妈妈，如果你不在意，我长大的时候，要做这渡船的船夫。
When storm clouds rumble in the sky and June showers come down,
The moist east wind comes marching over the heath to blow its bagpipes among the bamboos.
Then crowds of flowers come out of a sudden, from nobody knows where, and dance upon the grass in wild glee.
Mother, I really think the flowers go to school underground.
They do their lessons with doors shut, and if they want to come out to play before it is time, their master makes them stand in a corner.
When the rains come they have their holidays.
Branches clash together in the forest, and the leaves rustle in the wild wind, the thunder-clouds clap their giant hands and the flower children rush out in dresses of pink and yellow and white.
Do you know, mother, their home is in the sky, where the stars are.
Haven’t you seen how eager they are to get there? Don’t you know why they are in such a hurry?
Of course, I can guess to whom they raise their arms: they have their mother as I have my own.
