This Girl
By Bing Hua (Rose Lu) 
Translation by Xu Yingcai

This girl
Weaves a garland with roses

You, like fleeting sunlight
bathe it with a shower of kisses
and then move away
leaving it a dream and illusions

This girl
in courting the fleeting sunlight
Turns away from the splendor of rainbows

This girl
longing unfulfilled
love unexpressed
to see the sunlight again
resumes her kneel before the Buddha

And her garland weaving

A girl

By Bing Hua
Translation By Richard Tornello


This girl made a garland of roses,
and you were her sunlight,
the sunlight that bathed the roses in a rainbow of kisses.

And then, you left.
You left her to dream.

In time,
that girl refused other rainbows.

In time,
hoping for those sunlight kisses

In time,
longing and loving silently
she knelt before the Buddha,
a garland of roses,
her offering,
her prayer.


 


 


 


 


 


 


一个女孩




一个女孩                 

用玫瑰编织着花环         



你如一米阳光             

沐吻了这花环             

你又离开了               

留下了如梦如幻           



一个女孩                

为一米阳光               

拒绝了彩虹的斑斓         



一个女孩                

想无奈                  

爱无言                   

为再见一米阳光           

再一次跪在佛前           

为寻梦编织着花环 






A Girl


A girl
Made a garland with roses

You were like a meter of sunlight
bathed the garland with kisses
And left
Leaving a dream behind.

A girl
Refused the gorgeous rainbows
For a meter of sunlight

A girl
Longing, helplessly
and pining silently
For another meeting with the meter of sunlight
She kneels once again before Buddha
Making a garland for seeking that dream.


By Rose Lu (Bing hua) Tr. East Sea Fairy

一个女孩                 
用玫瑰编织着花环         

你如一米阳光             
沐吻了这花环             
你又离开了               
留下了如梦如幻           

一个女孩                
为一米阳光               
拒绝了彩虹的斑斓         

一个女孩                
想无奈                  
爱无言                   
为再见一米阳光           
再一次跪在佛前           
为寻梦编织着花环

If Only I Were the Wind By Bing Hua Translated By Liu Mei 如果我是风 作者 冰花 英译 柳湄 If Only I Were the Wind By Bing Hua Translated By Liu Mei If only I were the wind I would fly to Spring To blow the withered grass green And blow the buds blooming So that I could enjoy my sound sleep in the floral scent If only I were the wind I would fly to the sea To blow the waves dancing trippingly And waken up the morning sunglow So that I could hear the seawater Sing a cappella with the first rays If only I were the wind I would fly and fly To linger on his shoulders If only I were the wind I would blow and blow, Till my tender love dips into his heart It’s simply because He is my Spring My Grand Sea My Future Distance And my Justification How I wish I were The wind

Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose review by Deng Li （邓丽）

Top reviews from the United States KH 5.0 out of 5 stars Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose! Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024 Verified Purchase Bing Hua is one of my favorite Chinese poets. Her poetry is simple yet rich—simple to invite readers to read, yet rich in feelings and images. A good example is the poem "A Hand Fan:" “One side is spring, the other autumn.” Another good one is "Your Leaves and My Water:" “Your leaves / Have fallen into my yard / My water / Has wetted your lawn.” These words draw readers in and explore new realm of experiences. Bing Hua also has a magic way to express love through different seasons. She puts just enough ingredients to make her lines “taste” and “smell” good. Mr. Xu did a very good job to catch the 100 poems’ essences and styles in his translation. I highly recommend this book especially in this season.
