When The Fate Grew Poem by Luo Zhihai

緣起時

櫻花四月，相約鳳山賞景
竹馬少年，欣逢南海聽濤
待月西廂，紅娘遞簡引線
續緣斷橋，淚眼融冰成膠


注：第一二句羅志海作，第三四句錢永德作。


When The Fate Grew

Cherry blossoms in April
made a date
to enjoy scenery
in the Phoenix Hill

A bamboo hobbyhorse juveniles
listened to waves
joyful to meet
in the South China Sea

Waited for moon
in the West Wing
the matchmaker handed over letters
a go-between

Continued fate on the Broken Bridge
to become glue
the tearful eyes
melted ice

Note: first and second sentences by Luo Zhihai.
Third and fourth sentences by Qian Yongde.
