No Inquiring into why to Write Poetry for me
Bu Bai
Stop inquiring into why I write poetry, please, or
You go Miluo River where Qu Yuan, the romantic poet first, to call
Was chanting his dreams with poetry regardless nine deaths bestowed
Who proves immortality as a Beauty and vanilla cherished by us all
Stop inquiring into why I write poetry, please, or
You go to visit Pengze County, where did resign early the Sir Tiao
To enjoy freedom among his Utopia, as idyllist, the originator
I just follow them to eulogize our dream and freedom more.
Stop inquiring into why I write poetry please, or
You go to worship the Yellow River, in peace or in time of war
Thriving where we, the Chinese daughters and sons believe in
That lacking of poetry could hardly we her motherland adore.
