I laid down by the river’s edge 我把倒在河边

I laid down wondering where it led 我把倒想知道它通向哪里。

I laid down by the river’s edge 我把倒在河边

And I woke up in a river bed 我在河床醒了

   

There were flowers in my hair 有花我的头发

River flowers floating everywhere 江花处处飘

And all the fishes came and kissed my feet 和所有的鱼来，吻了我的脚

Dear old fishes, they said to me 亲爱的老鱼，他们对我说：

   

They said oh, we could love you 他们说，哦，我们可以爱你

But we are not yet what you want 但是，我们还没有你想要的

Because oh, anyone could love you 因为啊，任何人都可以爱你

You’ve got to find where you belong 你一定要找到属于你

   

All my needles, they were gone so fast 我所有的针头，他们都走了这么快

Not a needle left on a branch 不是一针留下的一个分支

I grew weaker 我从小弱

And the river strong 和河流强

I said, hey fishes 我说，哎鱼

But the fish were gone 但鱼都不见了

   

Now the boulders 现在的巨石

I know they heard me cry 我知道他们听见我哭泣

But they were stone-faced 但他们石坎

And they stood aside 和他们站在一边

So I went on at the river’s pace 于是我又在河的脚步

With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say 我闭着眼睛，我想我听到他们说

   

They said oh, we could love you 他们说，哦，我们可以爱你

But we are not yet what you want 但是，我们还没有你想要的

Because oh, we would only crush you 因为啊，我们只会暗恋你

You’ve got to find where you belong 你一定要找到属于你
