缓慢地飘落

像一片脆弱的小贝壳

随着泡沫漂流

勇士小男孩

凯旋回家了

作战勇敢的小男孩

凯旋回家了



Teng ye cong teng man shang

Huan man de piao luo

Xiang yi pian cui ruo de xiao bei ke

Yong shi xiao nan hai

Kai xuan hui jia le

Zuo zhan yong gan de xiao nan hai

 * The transliteration does not match the characters. The character text is written in classical (or perhaps a language like Wu or Yue) and is not an accurate translation of the english, but does capture the gist.  Assuming the transliteration given is either reconstructed Classical Pronounciation or is something like Wu or Yue, it could well be an accurate translation of the english.

Iroh performed this song during one of his music nights to keep his nephew's crew happy. An instrumental version of the song also becomes the love theme between Sokka and Yue. At the end of "Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang", the song is once again played by Iroh with his tsungi horn.
