i wish i were a young brook.

i wish i were a young brook,

just melted from the ice glacier.

i rushed into the fine sands,

that hold the dust,

and no more.

i wish i were a new brook.

i carried nothing but pure water.

An occasional fish may be my passenger,

but that is all i can take,

and no more.

i wish i were a young brook.

i chose to twist my way through anoymous rocks,

some moss wanted to taint me,

i said "no",

and no more.

i wish i were a young brook

i ran through a young girls toes.

she bent down to hold me up,

i said "sorry"

and no more.

i wish i were a young brook,

i plundered into large streams of river,

some water wanted to pollute me,

i cried "death has me!"

until my words were heard no more.

i wish i were a young brook. 愿为清流

i wish i were a young brook,我愿为一清流

just melted from the ice glacier.始为冰川所化

i rushed into the fine sands,穿行细沙之间

that hold the dust,以消尘秽

and no more.再无所求

i wish i were a new brook.我愿为一清流

i carried nothing but pure water. 所著皆为纯水

An occasional fish may be my passenger, 游鱼可为我客

but that is all i can take, 舍此以外，

and no more. 再无所负

i wish i were a young brook.我愿为一清流

i chose to twist my way through anoymous rocks,择路于顽石之间，

some moss wanted to taint me,或有青苔欲染

i said "no", 怒斥云“去”

and no more.不复相谈。

i wish i were a young brook. 我愿为一清流

i ran through a young girls toes. 为一少女濯足

she bent down to hold me up,玉手捧我胸前

i said "sorry" 婉谢而去，

and no more.以断相思。

i wish i were a young brook,我愿为一清流，

i plundered into large streams of river,偶入洪流之中，

some water wanted to pollute me,有水引我合污

i cried "death has me!" 以死拒之，

until my words were heard no more. 直至无声。
