Along the path to school, running 
straight along an embankment,
على طريق المدرسة الذي يمتدّ

Ein schnurgerader Schulweg
entlang des Deiches!

junto a la ribera del río,
Camino a la escuela,
junto a la ribera del río,
Un chemin qui mène à l’école,
longeant le fleuve,
Sulla via per la scuola,
camminando lungo l'argine del fiume,
A caminho para a escola, seguindo
em linha reta ao longo de um aterro,
Дорога до школы вдоль набережной...
