I know about the sea.

　　But I do not live near it.

　　It is not mine.

　　I know about the mountains.

　　But I never climb them.

　　They do not belong to me.

　　I know about the sky.

　　But I don't look up at the stars.

　　They are too far away.

　　My world is my room.

　　I live in it.

　　It comforts me.

　　I know about the windows.

　　These are my windows.

　　I look through them.

　　They comfort me.

　　I know about the mirrors.

　　These are my mirrors.

　　I stare at them, I see my world in them.

　　This is your Universe.

　　It is beyond me.

　　This is My Room.

　　I celebrate it.

　　我知道大海的辽阔,

　　但是我不住在她的身边。

　　因为她不属于我。?

　　我知道群山巍峨,

　　但是我从未登攀。

　　因为他们不属于我。

　　我知道天空渺远,

　　但我不曾凝望星群。

　　因为他们离我太远太远。

　　我的房间,我的世界。

　　我在她的怀里,

　　时时欣享她的安慰。

　　我熟悉那扇扇窗户,

　　那是我的窗户。

　　透过扇扇格格,

　　宴飨着我的心目。

　　我熟悉那面面明镜,

　　那是我的镜子。

　　我凝望着他们,看到了我的世界。

　　你的世界廓大,

　　它不归我所有。

　　我要赞美的,

　　是属于我的房间。
