Sections Of Dried Turnip Poem by Luo Zhihai

Sections of dried turnip


Phoenix sounding
Spring sorrows hard to be drived out
The day is still high hanging
Charming in front of the screen
Who enjoys it wandering

In thinking hard
The fallen leaves drift far
Fields and villages keep waving back
A fearless boy is running forward

Cole flowers yellow
Butterflies dancing elegant
At the dining table
Sections of dried turnip, a piece of cake
In twilight
Andante Cantabile
Like obsessed, like a dream and like a crazy
Numerous and faint


Note: dried vegetables money, that's round section of dried turnip. Common saying of the Hokkien language in Haifeng, Guangdong, China.

◆ Chinese Text

菜脯钱
罗志海 新诗


鸾凤鸣
春愁难消遣
日子依旧高悬
妩媚现屏前
有谁欣赏流连

陷入冥思苦想
落叶飘流远远
田野村庄不断挥手后退
无畏少年奔跑向前

油菜花黄黄
粉蝶舞姿翩翩
饭桌上
菜脯钱小菜一碟
暮色中
如歌的行板
如痴如梦如颠
林林总总隐隐约约


注：菜脯钱cai35 bou23 zi~5，即菜脯（萝卜干）的圆切片，广东海丰福佬话俗语。
