用山间的花影为你写诗

Writing Poems for You with the Shadow of Flowers in the Mountains

文｜白鹤清泉(Baihe Qingquan)

译｜周柯楠(Zhou Kenan)

我们不用远行看山看水了

We don't have to travel far to see mountains and water

就在这佘岭看发电的风车

We can see the windmills that generate electricity in Mount She here 

看风车转成儿时的风铃

The windmill rotates like the wind chimes of our childhood

看风铃摇响音乐一般

The wind chimes rocking and ringing 

你的温柔的笑声

With your gentle musical laughter

看山下夕阳中弯弯的小河

We can see the crooked stream in the setting sun at the foot of the mountain

看小河中弯弯如月的小船

We can see the crescent boat on the stream 

看小船荡漾处藕花收尽的

We can see in the ripples of the boat 

最后一抹嫣红

The last touch of bright red of lotus flowers 

春天翩然而至

Spring is drawing near trippingly 

当微风拂过你的柔发

When the breeze brushes your soft hair

你的柔发拂过一簇花丛

Your soft hair brushes a cluster of flowers

你的手便是世界上最美的诗

And your hand is the most beautiful poem in the world

这华鑫市就是未来的星城

This Huaxin city is the star city of the future

这香气清幽的小村好牛

This sweet-smelling village is so powerful

用现代的名字拥抱着

Its modern name embraces 

地老天荒的故事

The story about loving until the end of time 

告诉你一个秘密

I’d like to tell you a secret 

广寒宫的桂树

The osmanthus tree in Guanghan Palace 

是我们家门前桂树的影子

Is the shadow of the osmanthus tree in front of our house

在那得意地时隐时现

It appears complacently from time to time 

它换一个远方，听你

It changes to a distance , listening to you

听你用一支短笛

Listening to you play the piccolo

吹一缕柳色炊烟

Blowing out a wisp of willow-coloured smoke 

看，那颗星好亮好亮

Look,what a bright star 

哦，还有一颗呢

Oh, there’s another bright star 

悄悄地划过头顶

Quietly gliding overhead

隐没在诗一样的天边

And hiding in the poetic horizon

亲爱的，我们不必远行

Honey, we don't have to travel far

守候这简单的时光

Accompanying each other in the simple time 

我用山间的花影

With the shadow of flowers in the mountains 

为你写诗

I’ll write poems for you 

-End-
