| When children are playing alone on the green, | 孩子们独自在草地上游玩， |
| In comes the playmate that never was seen. | 瞧不见的伴儿就悄悄来到身边。 |
| When children are happy and lonely and good, | 孩子们高兴，寂寞，又挺乖， |
| The Friend of the Children comes out of the wood. | "儿童之友"就从树林里走出来。 |
| Nobody heard him and nobody saw, | 谁也没听到他，谁也没见到他， |
| His is a picture you never could draw, | 他这幅肖像，你永远不会描画， |
| But he's sure to be present, abroad or at home, | 可只要孩子们高兴，独个儿游戏， |
| When children are happy and playing alone. | 他准定在这儿，不管在屋外，屋里。 |
| He lies in the laurels, he runs on the grass, | 他躺在桂冠里，他奔在草地上， |
| He sings when you tinkle the musical glass; | 你碰响好听的玻璃杯，他就歌唱; |
| Whene'er you are happy and cannot tell why, | 只要你快乐，又说不出理由， |
| The Firend of the Children is sure to be by ! | 在你身边就肯定有"儿童之友"! |
| He loves to be little, he hates to be big, | 他喜欢身子小，他不爱身子大， |
| 'Tis he that inhabits the caves that you dig; | 能在你挖的洞子里住下的，正是他， |
| 'Tis he when you play with your soldiers of tin | 你让锡制的玩具兵上战场， |
| That sides with the Frenchmen and never can win | 也是他：总站在法国人一边，吃败仗。 |
| Tis he, when at night you go off to your bed, | 夜里，当上床的时候来到， |
| Bids you go to your sleep and not trouble your head; | 那是他：不再打搅你，叫你去睡觉; |
| For wherever they're lying, in cupboard or shelf, | 你的玩具，不管在橱里躺、架上站， |
| 'Tis he will take care of your playthings himself ! | 那是他：会照料好每一样，每一件。 |
