那女孩划起十指的槳

汨汨水聲

在鋼琴的河流上

鋼琴啊鋼琴

你是長江

 

黑鍵如夜

白鍵如晝

中國啊中國

我要划向你

 

那女孩揚起十指的鞭

奔騰的嚮馬

在鋼琴的草原上

鋼琴啊鋼琴

你是長城

 

黑鍵如垣

白鍵如碟

中國啊中國

我要奔向你

P I A NO

 

The girl rows her ten fingered oars

Gurgling the surface

Of the river piano

Piano, oh piano

You are the Yangtze

 

Keys black as night

Keys bright as day

China, oh china

I want to row toward you

 

The girl raises her whip of ten fingers

And gallops forward

Across the piano’s plain

China, oh china

You are the Great Wall

 

Keys black as ramparts

Keys bright as battlements

China, oh china

I want to gallop towards you
