Four Poems
By Chinese Poet Hongri Yuan
Translated by Yuanbing zhang
The City of Angel's Smile
The silvery-white words of the kingdom of the moon
shone in the dream last night
The king of giants
in the huge cities of prehistoric times
presented me the gem book of the soul
I will build a garden in the desert
fill the jade bottle with sweet spring from the kingdom of heaven
Let the rivers and lakes shine
a city of the angel's smile
天使的微笑之城
月亮之国的银白词语
在昨夜的梦境闪烁
那位巨人的王
在史前的巨城
赠我宝石的灵魂之书
我将在沙漠上建造花园
用一只玉瓶盛来天国之甘泉
让河流和湖泊映照
一座天使的微笑之城
The Sea of The Golden Palace
Happiness is like the memory of heaven
And the soul is like the sweet sun.
On the canvas of death
you daub a smile from the gods.
Oh, that is its light，the honey of heaven.
If you can hear the music of heaven
It is like the sea from that golden palace
lapping sapphire over eternal space.
黄金的宫殿之海
快乐是天堂的记忆
而灵魂是甜美的太阳
在死亡的画布之上
你涂抹诸神的笑容
哦 那是光 光之蜜
如果你听见了天国的乐曲
那是黄金的宫殿之海
在蓝宝石的太空之上
The Wine of The Soul
I picked a smiling flower out of a future city
To light up your dark dreams
The lightning of heaven brings the book of the new world home
The body of a giant sky rotates the transparent picture of s faraway nebulae
The light comes from the gods
Let's you see yourself without so much sadness
The body is high and translucent, every cell is as sweet as the wine of many souls dancing
灵魂之酒
我摘取一朵未来之城的笑容之花
照亮你的黑铁之梦
天国的闪电送来新的世界之书
巨人的体内旋转透明的星云之图
那来自诸神的光芒
让你看到那个不知忧愁的自己
身体巨大透明 每一颗细胞甜美如灵魂之酒
Ten Thousand Years Are Just a Day of Your Soul
Ten Thousand years are just a day of your soul
Maybe you are more ancient than the legendary God
And the silver city on the other planets
blooms to you on the blue smiling coast
You dreamed about the mysterious words
and the songs of the soul from the golden heaven
which let you forget the earthly library
and the past highfalutin classics of the East and the West
一万年只是你的灵魂的一天
一万年只是你的灵魂的一天
也许你比传说的上帝更古老
而那另外星球上的白银之城
在微笑的蔚蓝之海岸上向你绽放
而你梦见那些神秘的词语
那黄金天堂的灵魂之曲
让你忘了人间的图书馆
那东西方堂皇的历代经典
