One Old Man: When Speculative Winds Blow 一老年人 炒風難擋 滔天巨浪 看誰無恙 Poem by Frank Yue

TUNE: "Spring-Detention Ci"
TITLE: "Sea of Stocks and Shares"
- by 一老年人‘A Man of Advanced Years'
- Translated by Frank C Yue


When speculative winds blow
Giant waves rule in the choppy sea.
Who will then survive, O let's see!
In the Stocks Sea one goes with the flow -
Be it rising,
Be it diving,
So brave in chasing
And quick in selling.

When the market keeps on climbing,
Up and up on its way,
Everyone, drugged, keeps on dreaming -
Ah, I'll be filthy rich any day!
When it crashes the money's gone -
It's scary as scary can be!
So hurt is e'eryone's proud bravery,
The spirit's hijack'd by a sad song!

《留春令‧股海》一老年人

炒風難擋，滔天巨浪，看誰無恙？
股海隨波任浮沉，勇追放，沽拋爽。

順勢人人存幻想，發達天天望。
逆轉財空更驚心，膽肝創，神魂蕩。
