米蘭小鐵匠 [Mǐlán xiǎo tiějiàng] [Little Blacksmith in Milan] [English translation]

He ran around the pasture and the village

He stood by the bookstall on the corner,

gazing at the guitar in the showcase

and admiring it faraway

Coal filled the baskets.

The coal kept burning.

The coal was half burned

Hot oven.

The blacksmith toiled to save money for his hope

On the street lined with baroque buildings,

a Polish minstrel was performing in a small inn

The blacksmith stood outside,

troubled about entry. 

His coins were still not enough

He was really eager to know

What on earth was the chord of the

ballad from Eastern Europe

In Milan, the day was dawning

How many horseshoes should he forge

could he afford a guitar

He just couldn't find the answer

He didn't know what to do at all.

So vexing

He broke his little piggy bank

His earnest wish was gonna come true.

So happy
