Casting Stones By Bing Hua (Rose Lu)  Tr. By  Richard Tornello I’ve been sending signals to you messages requesting, Asking you reveal the depth of your feelings.

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.

MOMENT OF DEPARTURE By Bing Hua (Rose Lu)  Tr. Richard Tornello Oh so cold, down to the bone cold watching you disappear. Please, a kiss, a word, a look back. My heart trembles as I see you off. Scorching mid day sun, Burning my being throughout. 离去 冰花 望着你的背影 远去 我的心在颤栗 多么希望你转过头 或留下一丝温柔 然而 你就是你 我用泪水模糊的目光送你 噢 好冷 这到底 是炎热的夏天 还是冰冷的冬季 Gone Seeing your back fade away into the yonder I felt my heart trembling How I wished you would turn back Or leave a thread of tenderness behind But you are you I saw you off with my tear-blurred eyes Oh, so cold!

Blue Sorrow Blue Sorrow Coming to the seashore quietly I gazed out over the boundless sea Endless worries were dominating my surging heart In which The past was flying Enlightened by Buddha I obtained a great kind heart With elevated affections I fell on my knees by Cupid And all of a sudden my dream of love Fled And the one walking out of the tent was my brother, not my lover. Nothing is more dreadful than being desperate The rocks in the sea Robbed all love away The sea gurgled and burbled While tears of grievance flowing down Blue sea Blue sorrow By Rose Lu(Bing Hua) Tr.
