Here surrounding the island there is sea

But what sea

lt's always overflowing
汹涌不休
says “ Yes,” then“No,” then “No”again
说“是”，接而“不”，一遍叉一遍
And “No,”says“Yes” in blue
它忧悒地说“是”，
in sea spray raging
却咆哮着
says “No” and “No” again
重复着“不”，
It can't be still
永无静止
It stammers “my name is sea.”
它吞吐道：“我的名字叫大海。”
It slaps the rocks
岩石不相信
and when they aren't convinced
于是海浪拍打着
Strokes them and soaks them
撞击着，冲剃着
and smolders them with kisses
叉以无数个亲吻去抚慰它们
with seven green tongues of seven green dogs

Beating its chest, stammering its name

Oh, sea, this is your name

oh, comrade ocean, don't waste time

or water getting so upset

We're meager fishermen

men from the shore

We're hungry and cold

Open your green coffers
