你只是海上的劳工            You' re only a laborer on the sea

　像以船为家的渔夫            Like a seaman who uses his boat as his home

　为了活过新的一天            He is working from dawn to night

　起早贪黑地劳作                Only to survive another day

　在烈日当空时                    When the burning sun is rightly above its head

　久久地盘旋                        It is hovering for a long time

　在汪洋中寻觅                    Looking for a quarry as tiny as

　针一样细小的猎物            A needle in the vast sea

　翅膀猛然一收                   Suddenly it draws in  its wings

　尖喙直直冲下                   And its sharp beak is straightly dashing down

　像一粒石子                        Like a carpolite

　被扔进波涛                        Thrown into the surges

　只有溅起的水花                There are only spattering sprays

　安慰你漂亮的动作            Which are consoling your beautiful action

　晕旋的俯冲要重复多少次How many times should you repeat your swooning swoops

　才能捕获一枚小鱼            To catch a fingering

　正当你得意时，小鱼        When you have your moment, the fingering

　挣脱而去，重归大海        Breaks loose and returns to the boundless sea

　更多的时候，你拼命        In more cases, you risks your life

　啄取的，只是小鱼的幻象Only to peck the idol of a fingering

　到最后，你是一根          At last, you are a feather

　浸透了盐水的羽毛          Soaked with salty water

　在无尽的波浪中漂浮      Floating in endless waves

　忍受着小鱼的戏弄          Standing the teasing of a fingering
