The Star and The Sea

By Bing Hua, Translation By Richard Tornello

The star is in love with the sea
and twinkles her eyes.
To her surprise
two eyes twinkle in concert!
She flies down just at the knife-edge,
the twilight of dawn.
Now doomed as she descends to the human world.
What a pity…
Oh, it’s just a dream.



THE STAR AND THE SEA 
BY Rose Lu (Bing Hua)        Tr. East Sea Fairy



The star is in love with the sea

and twinkles her eyes.

To her surprise

two eyes twinkle in concert!

She flies down just at the knife-edge,

the twilight of dawn.

Now doomed as she descends to the human world.

What a pity…

Oh, it’s just a dream.

Unaware of its depth,
The star in love with the sea，
Twinkles her eyes
To take a look
Two eyes twinkle in concert
Doomed to descend to the human world
Flies down in a knife of dawn
What a pity! It's just a dream.



BY Rose Lu (Bing Hua)        Tr. East Sea Fairy


星星与海

冰花 （Rose Lu）

星星恋着大海
不知它的深浅
眨眨眼睛
探个究竟
有双眼睛呼应
下凡 已定
飞来一刀黎明
惜是一场梦

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.
