TZEMIN ITION TSAI

THE SONG ALWAYS WEEPING AS THE SUN IS GOING DOWN

Time always seems rushed and precise.

I couldn't help but watch the sun go down the mountain.

Like this highland,

Towering into the sky along the edge of the sea.

What kind of sound of nature will forget the warning.

Mother was gradually drifting away

Yes, she will does eventually leave.

The song that should sound when the sun sets.

Keep silent.

Wind blowing over the farm.

Did not stop playing.

Why did I only hear the sound of the treetops?

Scratching my heart

Scratching my innermost being

Never asked me about the scars left behind

When to fix?

Naturally, you won’t ask.

Facing a delicate and frail girl like me.

A loving marriage,

Why was it so unbearable and fragile?

Tribulation of war, lingering shadow of death,

Forced to take everything away.

Why was everything so pale in my dreams?

But everything in everything,

the very thought of

That kiss has never been realized.

Until the last time we met. 

THE SPRING BREEZE NEVER KNOWS HOW TO LEAVE FEELINGS

Spring breeze blowing

The wind chimes follow jingle-jangle all the way

Maple leaves drift with it

Take away all my cares so frivolously

Spring breeze blowing

Agitate the flag on the sail

Steam above sea level whistling out like a roaring monster

The ocean that has been warmed up is rolling

Spring breeze has no willing to change

Looking around for whales hidden inside the ocean

The tracks that is difficult to track

Forget itself

In a fuzzy consciousness

Leave a hint of exclamation

When is the heart no longer hurt?

The sun sometimes fails to keep an appointment

Why is dark night sure to come every day?

Maybe you can find it under the moon

That course following the Big Dipper

Spring breeze always attracts a riot of spring here and there

You must always remember

Never lose

That footprint goes forward 

THE SCENERY OF SMALL TOWN

The grass is warm in the spring sunshine

Spread on the surrounding hillside boundlessly

Until the front endlessly and incomparably

The wind not only shakes the leaves of the old tree

Also slowly moving the clouds

Inviting that white like birds' feathers

Dyeing the clear sky

Colored flowers scattered everywhere

Give a subtle smell

The birds’ quarrels are heard everywhere.

Like the sound of a bamboo flute resounding through in the air

It’s all like telling

How beautiful is the scenery in this village?

Around the town

Bird's dance and floral fragrance

Wind unfolding hands

Trying to surround you in its embrace

Small temple at the end of the street

Unsealed fences and murals

Can't find any gemstones and brilliant bronze statues

And when you calm down

Sitting in front of the plate you can find

The sediment that belongs to your mind is actually mixed between the grass

The streetlight that just turned on is not so bright

The beggar sitting against all the wrinkles on face

Arms that are obviously thin and dry

Try to support his determined eyes

Look at your heart every day at the corner of the street 

THE EGRET’S SIGH: THE OLD PLOW IS REALLY OLD

Pond-Water Road, which is in front of my face

Old plowing bull with a pair of blurred eyes

Who is exempting the plow on its neck?

Lamenting heart

If it’s just the temporary mood of the old plowing bull

Not the sigh that no longer has to be enslaved

You surely clear in mind

I really shouldn’t ask

Is this your heaven-born destiny?

When you also have the same gray-haired as I have?

More sadness will not help, we are not together until today

Come on

Let's sing together a song that celebrates the white head

Why don’t you invite the old plow to rest?

Just for sit on a porch swing with but never need say a word
