When I was young, I talked about a string of ideals,
小小年纪谈起理想一串串,
xiǎo  xiǎo  nián  jì  tán  qǐ  lǐ  xiǎng  yī  chuàn  chuàn, 

Want to be an expert, want to be a doctor, want to make records,
想当专家想做博士想出唱片,
xiǎng  dàng  zhuān  jiā  xiǎng  zuò  bó  shì  xiǎng  chū  chàng  piàn, 

Mom, dad, teacher and old friends all praise,
老爸老妈老师老友都夸赞,
lǎo  bà  lǎo  mā  lǎo  shī  lǎo  yǒu  dōu  kuā  zàn, 

Easier said than done,
想来容易说来简单做做就难,
xiǎng  lái  róng  yì  shuō  lái  jiǎn  dān  zuò  zuò  jiù  nàn,  

Learn to walk before you learn to dance,
要学跳舞 先学会走路,
yào  xué  tiào  wǔ  xiān  xué  huì  zǒu  lù,

To count to 100, first count to 123,
要数一百 先数123, 
 yào  shù  yī  bǎi  xiān  shù  123,

Get through today before you get through tomorrow,
要过明天先过好今天,
yào  guò  míng  tiān  xiān  guò  hǎo  jīn  tiān,  

Keep your eyes on the target,
瞄准目标看齐,
miáo  zhǔn  mù  biāo  kàn  qí,

Crackle, crackle, crackle,
噼里啪啦霹雳啪啦,
pī  li  pā  lā  pī  lì  pā  la,  

Do not be lazy,
做事不偷懒,
zuò  shì  bù  tōu  lǎn, 

Crackle crackle crackle,
噼里啪啦噼里啪啦,
pī  li  pā  lā  pī  li  pā  lā,  

Be not afraid of difficulties in learning,
学习不怕难,
xué  xí  bù  pà  nàn, 

Crackle crackle crackle,
噼里啪啦噼里啪啦,
pī  li  pā  lā  pī  li  pā  lā, 

We work down-to-earth  ,
我们脚踏实地干,
wǒ  men  jiǎo  tà  shí  dì  gàn,  

Keep your eyes on the target,
瞄准目标看齐,
miáo  zhǔn  mù  biāo  kàn  qí, 

Crackle, crackle, crackle,
噼里啪啦霹雳啪啦,
pī  li  pā  lā  pī  lì  pā  la,

What a diligent reader,
读书真勤快,
dú  shū  zhēn  qín  kuài,  

Crackle, crackle, crackle,
噼里啪啦霹雳啪啦,
pī  li  pā  lā  pī  lì  pā  la,  

Good work today,
今天学得好,
jīn  tiān  xué  de  hǎo, 

Crackle, crackle, crackle,
噼里啪啦霹雳啪啦,  
pī  li  pā  lā  pī  lì  pā  la, 

Dreams can come true tomorrow.
明天理想能实现。
