The Rails 轨 道

The Rails 

By Bing Hua (Rose Lu) 

 Tr. By  Richard Tornello


We are like two rails

Tied together through friendship;

Running in parallel,

Only in perspective joined together.

Our ties maintain our steady position

Through storms or heavy load

We two rails

A smile says it all.




The Rails

By Rose Lu

You are one 
And I’m the other 
We are two rails running in parallel 
Never join

When a train comes 
We share our burden 
And when a storm attacks
We maintain together our positions  

Two rails 
Your are one 
And I’m the other 
We run side by side 
Never need to intersect  

The train rolls away 
We nod to signal 
And smile a smile of understanding 
After the passing of the storm 

 轨 道

冰花

你是一条
我是另一条
两条是平行的
永远不能相交

火车来到
一起擎起重
暴风雨来到
一齐稳住脚

轨道
你是一条
我是另一条
两条是平行的
永远不必相交

火车驶去
点头示意
风雨过后
会心微笑

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

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.
