To Pick Roses 摘玫瑰

To Pick Roses

I just want to pick one rose
Although you gave me
A whole garden
So many flowers!
But which is the most beloved one
Which one should I pick?
Before I could make a choice
My tears flowed down

And dropped on the sheepish stamen
Of a rose with thorn
By the bottom of my skirt
Is it dew
Or tear?

By Bing Hua           Tr. East Sea Fairy

摘玫瑰


冰花（Rose Lu）



只想 摘一朵玫瑰
尽管 你给了我
整个花园
这么多的花儿
哪一朵 最爱
哪一朵 应该摘
选也选不出
眼泪先流下来

落到裙边
一朵刺玫瑰
羞怯的花蕊上
是露珠
是眼泪


To Pick Roses

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.
