The Land
The land I’m talking, covers by soil,
The black is rich and suitable for growing grain,
The red is poor and able to plant tea,
The grey is paddy soil that stretches on the vast plain.
It grows crops, grass and forest,
With flower in spring, fruit in fall,
Was burned with wildfire, tilled by our forefathers,
Was defended when enemies trampled on.
Land, food, water and air,
That's enough for me, then I'd like
To be born, grow up and die naturally,
At last the land will grow a grave for me.
土地
我说的土地，覆满土壤
黑色的肥沃，宜于种粮
红色的贫瘠，用来栽茶
灰色的水稻土，绵延在广阔平原上
长着庄稼、野草、森林
春天开花，秋天结果
野火焚烧，祖先耕耘
敌人践踏时，有人用生命保卫过
土地，粮食，水和空气
有这些足矣，然后就让我
自然地出生、衰老、死去
土地，会长出一个小小的坟坡 |
