我有一枚金币，

握在我手里。

不小心丢失在海边，

再也找不见。

给我更多的钞票，

我也不要。

我在海边坐下，

为丢失的金币叹息。

我有一只知更鸟，

整天唱着歌，

当森林改变模样，

它就飞走了。

时光荏苒，鸟儿去来，

唱着同样的歌，

但我仍为飞走的那只，

留着它小小的窝。

我有一颗星星，

七姐妹里最不起眼的一个。

当我稍一走神，

就不见她的踪影。

尽管满天繁星，

整晚眨眼睛，

我却固执地寻找，

迷失的那一颗。

我故事里的寓意，

你可懂得？

我失去了一个朋友，

这是唱给他的歌。

他所去的国度，

遥远又寂寥，

他所在的地方，

阳光照不到。

天上的星星、知更鸟，

还有海边的金币，

都是关于他的隐喻。

我的歌声伴着泪水，

去把他寻找。

I had a guinea golden -

I lost it in the sand -

And tho' the sum was simple

And pounds were in the land -

Still, had it such a value

Unto my frugal eye -

That when I could not find it -

I sat me down to sigh.

I had a crimson Robin -

Who sang full many a day

But when the woods were painted,

He, too, did fly away -

Time brought me other Robins -

Their ballads were the same -

Still, for my missing Troubadour

I kept the "house at hame."

I had a star in heaven -

One "Pleiad" was its name -

And when I was not heeding,

It wandered from the same.

And tho' the skies are crowded -

And all the night ashine -

I do not care about it -

Since none of them are mine.

My story has a moral -

I have a missing friend -

"Pleiad" its name, and Robin,

And guinea in the sand.

And when this mournful ditty

Accompanied with tear -

Shall meet the eye of traitor

In country far from here -

Grant that repentance solemn

May seize upon his mind -

And he no consolation

Beneath the sun may find.
