柳條長長

柳條長長，柳條細細

在風雨日曬中垂著

在風雨日曬中飄著

柳條長長，柳條細細

從岸邊垂向湖面

在湖面激起一圈圈漣漪

柳條長長，柳條細細

當風起，它們飄得更遠

探向西湖？還是密西根湖？

柳條長長，柳條細細

是細致柔嫩的手

也是滾燙炙熱的情絲

柳條長長，柳條細細

把和平繁榮的福音

撒遍整個宇域！

柳條長長，柳條細細

在風雨日曬中垂著

在風雨日曬中飄著

Thin and Slender Willow Twigs   

Willow twigs thin, willow twigs slender

Drooping in winds and rains and sunning

Wafting in winds and rains and sunning

Willow twigs thin, willow twigs slender

From bank to lake surface

Bringing ripples and dimples in the lake

Willow twigs thin, willow twigs slender

When the wind rises, they waft afar

Toward the West Lake? Or toward Michigan Lake?

Willow twigs thin, willow twigs slender

Hands fine and tender

And filaments of warm feelings

Willow twigs thin, willow twigs slender

To spread gospel of peace and prosperity

Throughout the whole universe!

Willow twigs thin, willow twigs slender

Drooping in winds and rains and sunning

Wafting in winds and rains and sunning
