Don’t ask me why I write poetry
You can get reply from Miluo River
Where the poet Qu Yuan dead for his country
But engraved his spirit of poetry in my heart forever
Don’t ask me why I write poetry
You can find answer in the Pengze Lake
Where the poet Tao Qian left a lifestyle dream
There flowers and peace fascinated me day and night
Don’t ask me why I write poetry
Please listen to the Yellow River
It witnessed five thousand year history of China
There would be no Chinese culture without Chinese poetry
最后一节第二行有点短了,可加上母亲一词,母亲黄河,以及调整第三行为了韵脚。即改成:
Don't ask me why I write poetry
Please listen to the mother, Yellow River
It witnessed China's five thousand year history
There would be no Chinese culture without Chinese poetry
