One Sentence Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ One Sentence

☆ Poetry by Wen Yiduo (1899-1946, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


It’s a disaster to say one sentence
It can fire up with one sentence
Although in five thousand years no one says out
Can you guess the silence of the volcano?
Perhaps it's bewitched suddenly
There is a thunderbolt in the sky suddenly
Burst out:
'China, ours! '

Today how do I say the sentence?
You could not believe the iron tree in blossom
But you must listen to one sentence:
Until the volcano unable to bear the silence
Don't tremble, tongue, stomp and lie
Until there is a thunderbolt in the sky
Burst out:
'China, ours! '

★ 一句话

☆ 闻一多 诗


有一句话说出就是祸
有一句话能点得着火
别看五千年没有说破
你猜得透火山的缄默？
说不定是突然着了魔
突然青天里一个霹雳
爆一声：
“咱们的中国！”

这话叫我今天怎样说？
你不信铁树开花也可
那么有一句话你听着：
等火山忍不住了缄默
不要发抖，伸舌头，顿脚
等到青天里一个霹雳
爆一声：
“咱们的中国！”
