  Up in the air and over the wall,越过墙外高踞天空,

  Till I can see so wide,直到我能望见如此广大的世界,

  River and trees and cattle and all 河流、树木、牛群,

  Over the countryside 还有整个的乡村。

  Till I look down on the garden green 直到我俯瞰着翠绿的花园

  Down on the roof so brown 以及棕色的屋顶

  Up in the air I go flying again 我又飞上天去,

  Up in the air and down!在天地间上下穿梭!
