Bamboo Mountain by Rongrong Chen published on 2020-05-12T23:14:48Z 竹山 Bamboo Mountain 来一场倾盆,去一场瓢泼, I came in a downpour and left in a cloudburst. 竹林中走,茶室中歇。 Walking in the bamboo forest, resting in a tea room. 茶香回甘唇齿,茶绿溶于山色。 The scent of the tea pleases the mouth. The color of the tea blends with the color of the mountain. 蜻蜓徘徊山脚下,雏燕争飞山之巅。 Dragonflies linger at the foothill, young swallows race above the peak. 水镜青蓝石床现,蛛丝悄然桥上织。 Under the turquoise mirror I can see rocks on the riverbed. Upon the bridge spiders weave their webs quietly. 雾起,山隐,水舞,泉鸣。 Fog rises, mountain fades, water dances, and springs sing. 山风忽至,竹冠如兽首攒动。 A wind passes through, the crowns of the bamboos gather and move like beasts. 遥闻古钟沉吟,近听虫鸟细语。 From afar I hear ancient bells ring, from close I hear insects and birds whisper. 上山所泡之茶,今复饮可乎? Can I still drink the tea I steeped when I came? Genre Classical
