胡姬

Western Maid

风哼着小调
春天用露水抹了一把脸
直接从一根柳条上走下来
酒幌一摇，胡姬从店里出来
她美，鬓边别着大青山上一片云彩

李白坐下的青骢马不走了
压酒劝客时候
她走出一行红柳的模样
眼睛灿烂。有十万亩桃花在开

李白坐在那里
今天，他一滴酒没喝
已经醉了
			

The wind hummed a little tune 
Spring freshened her face with dew
she walked off a willow tree branch
with the bar banner lifted up, there came out the western maid 
the luscious pretty girl had hair like mountain clouds

Poet Li Bai's horse stunned by her beauty
proposing toast to the guests
she swung like gentle red willow 
her eyes gleamed like 100 thousand hectares of blooming peach blossom. 

poet Li Bai sat there
without a sip of wine
he was intoxicated by the beauty
			

一瓣荷花

A Lotus Petal

我来的时候一朵荷花没开
我走的时候所有的荷花都开败了

像一个白昼轮回了生死
睁开大彻大悟的眼睛 
一只是太阳，一只是月亮 
脚下的路黑白分明 
命运小心翼翼的走 
起伏的浪花忽高忽低，揣摸不透
只有水滴单纯，证明着我的渺小

有时，我已穷极一生
只能采下一瓣荷花
而一夜湖风，用一支笛子

吹老了整个洪湖
			

the lotus had not blossomed when I came
the fluorescence was over when I was gone
like going through life and death 
eyes wide opened with deep comprehension
one eye for the sun, one eye for the moon
the journey was black and white
life took a careful path
the unpredictable tide went up and down 
my smallness reflected upon the simple and pure water drops

sometime I spent my entire life 
harvesting a lotus petal
the lake breeze blew a flute 

and wrinkled the face of the Grand lake
