玉立此树
如此完美的晨曦
闪耀其间
光彩夺目的景色
阳光和蓝天
仅仅是此树的背景

高耸擎天
此树临风
迎接来自四面八方的风
春夏秋冬的季节
从不趋炎附势
容颜不老

不知来自何方的种子
扎根于此
北国的土壤
风霜雨雪的日子
不能阻挡的
如此的生命力

蓬勃此树
可以延续千万年
地壳石层里的古木
化成坚硬的石头
生命如此久远

相形之下
人类的历史
不过就是瞬间

A tree gracefully stands
In the first ray of such perfect morning
Brightly shines in between
A colorful scenery to remember
Sunshine and blue sky
They only composed a background of this tree

A tree towers up to hold the sky
A tree embraces the wind
It embraces the wind that comes from all directions
In the season of springs summers autumns and winters
It never follow those powerful and rich
And never change its beauty

A seed you don't know where it comes from
It rooted onto this ground
The soil of this northern country
In times of wind frost rain and snow
Such living power
No forces can stop it

Vigorously grow this tree
A life can extend for thousands of years
The ancient wood inside the lithosphere and layers of stone
As hard and solid as the stone it transformed
Life has been so much remote and distant

In comparison
The human history is
But a moment of blinking eyes
