写给儿子To My Son 李长空 By Li Changkong Tr. Hao Siyu
像树苗破土而出 带来世世相传的泥土芳香 像旱塬骤逢甘露 爸爸的心中升起一轮朝阳 Like a young shoot breaking the earth through It wears the ancestors’ earthy perfume I bet Like a dry land embracing sweet dew In dad’s heart a shimmering sun raises its head
电动摇篮温暖不了你 爸爸要用华夏土地当你的摇床 绫罗绸缎包裹不了你 爸爸扯来五彩云朵作你的衣裳 Electric cradles can not warm you Dad will make the divine land of China your bed Silks and satins can not swaddle you Dad will cut out the blazing clouds into your dress
山珍海味喂养不饱你 爸爸要用中华文明哺育你成长 几百年来的狂风骤雨 宝贝也必须仔细阅读不得遗忘 Luxury meals can not nourish you Dad will feed you our civilization instead Furious storms during hundreds of years You should read them in detail and never forget
有一天你会像雄鹰在蓝天遨翔 爸爸要把中国印烙在你的身上 One day like an eagle you may hover ahead You are a Chinese you should always keep in mind
