When I was a little girl 当我还是一个小女孩

I had the biggest backyard in the world 我最大的后院世界

   

It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high 它接着千里，全是因为它是高

Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky 下到地平线，一路攀升到天空

And every now and then 而飘飞

I heard a vile tree cry my name 我听到一个卑鄙的树哭了我的名字

   

When I was a little girl 当我还是一个小女孩

I had the biggest backyard in the world 我最大的后院世界

   

Covered up with red dirt as far as I could see 覆盖了红色的泥土，据我可以看到

I shared it with the railway and the Aborigines 我分享它与铁路和原住民

Southwest of Adelaide 西南阿德莱德

All the way down to the sea and back 一路下到海中，后

   

When I was a little girl 当我还是一个小女孩

I had the biggest backyard in the world 我最大的后院世界

   

The sun would shine until the day I asked for it to rain 太阳会发光，直到有一天我问它要下雨

Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train 倒计时睡觉，直到茶和糖的火车

Ten cents on the track for days 在赛道的天十美分

Before it never came and went 在此之前从来没有来了又走

   

When I was a little girl 当我还是一个小女孩

I had the biggest backyard in the world 我最大的后院世界

   

Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark 坐在“轮，从星星之火开始在篝火旁

Rolling down the Gun Barrel Highway in the dark 在黑暗中滚下枪管公路

Making sure that I had all the room here in my house 确保我这里所有的房间在我家

For me and all of the world 对我来说，所有的世界

   

When I was a little girl 当我还是一个小女孩

I had the biggest backyard in the world 我最大的后院世界
