Kuàilè chítáng zāizhòng le mèngxiǎng jiù biàn chéng hǎiyáng.
快乐     池塘      栽种    了     梦想       就  变    成       海洋。
A happy pond planted the dream of becoming an ocean.

鼓  的   眼睛, 大 嘴巴     同样       唱     的     响亮。
The drums eyes and big mouth, singing the same sound.

借  我 一   双       小     翅膀, 就   能    飞   向    太阳。
