[Куплет 1] You pat the sand beside your knee A little moat beside the sea With a yellow pail and a shell for a door You make a kingdom on the shore [Қайырма] Build it up, little tower, wide and tall Give the sandy king a seashell wall You sing to the gulls as the warm waves play And the tide comes closer, soft as a day [Куплет 2] You press a pebble for the throne Then hum a tune all of your own A ribbon of water curls around your feet You grin and give the waves a seat [Қайырма] Build it up, little tower, wide and tall Give the sandy king a seashell wall You sing to the gulls as the warm waves play And the tide comes closer, soft as a day [Көпір] One small wave says hello, then slips away You clap your hands and start again to play The sun warms your shoulders, the breeze combs your hair Your little castle is the finest anywhere [Аутро] A shell by the doorway, a flag in the sand You wave to the tide with a sandy hand
