Soft Fire Makes Sweet Malt Poem by Luo Zhihai

慢工出细活

有心，苦力对歪果
没事，慢工出细活
何必，精刀雕朽木
然而，转角唱轻歌

注：第一三句寂静无声作，第二四句罗志海作。


Soft Fire Makes Sweet Malt

Don't worry
soft fire makes sweet malt
The bitter power couples the crooked fruit
have a mind

However sing a song on the corner
A fine knife carves a withered wood, why?


Note: first and third sentences by Jijingwusheng.
Second and fourth sentences by Luo Zhihai.
