When I was down beside the sea　　A wooden spade they gave to me　　To dig the sandy shore.　　My holes were empty like a cup　　In every hole the sea came up　　Till it could come no more　　Little drops of water　　Little grains of sand　　Make the mighty ocean　　And a pleasant land　　当我在海边嬉戏　　我用他们给我的木铲　　挖那松软的沙地　　我挖的小洞像是一个茶杯　　从那里海水慢慢浮起　　直到它去无可去　　小小的水滴　　小小的沙粒　　汇集成无际的大海　　和美丽的土地
