Children's Song
(English)

In a small, white boat
In the blue sky
Are a cinnamon tree and a rabbit.
Without sail and without oar,
Yet gliding,
Gliding smoothly to a western shore.

Sailing across the Milky Way
To the land of clouds.
Where does it journey
Beyond the land of clouds?
Towards the sparkling reflection
So far away,
To the beacon light of a new dawn.
Now, child, find a road.
