Little Walnut Boat
A little boat made of walnut shell
adorned with paper sails
set sail today
to carry far away
golden drops of honey.
A fearless mosquito is on it
very confident to be a good helmsman,
and going up and down the waves
the little boat has already gone...
Sailing without fear
in the sea is the best,
there's no reason to start trembling.
And if a dark storm comes
laugh, row, and sing.
Sailing without fear
in the sea is the best,
if the sky is very blue
the mosquito is happy
across the distant southern seas.
