Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

小杰克·帕珀，爱着那个淘气的帕夫

And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff

给他带来绳子，封蜡，还有其他有趣的东西

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

哦，帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

他们一同乘着鼓满风帆的船，四处游荡

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail

杰克站在帕夫巨大的尾巴上，放眼眺望

Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came

高贵的国王和王子们，每当他们到来，都会鞠躬致敬

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name

当帕夫吼出他的名字，海盗船都会降下旗帜

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

哦，帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys

龙可以永生，但小男孩却不能

Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys

彩绘的翅膀和巨人的戒指，要让位于其他的玩具

One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

一个灰暗的夜晚，杰克·帕珀再也没有出现

And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

帕夫，那条强大的龙，停止了他无畏的咆哮

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain

他悲伤地垂下头，绿色的鳞片像雨一样落下

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

帕夫不再去樱桃小路玩耍

Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave

没有他一生的朋友，帕夫无法勇敢

So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave

所以帕夫，那条强大的龙，悲伤地滑进了他的洞穴

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

哦，帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

帕夫，那条神奇的龙，住在海边

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

在名叫Honah Lee的乐土，嬉戏于秋日的迷雾里
