不眠的夜
Language: Chinese (中文) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG GER
竹林在风中摇动，
月儿坐在石头上。
天地间震动着野鸭
急驰向阴影中的飞奔。
我无眠地躺着，
思索着我们的重逢，
随着我快乐地高歌，
唤醒了新的一天。

Sleepless Night
Language: English  after the Chinese (中文) 
Bamboo trees are swaying in the wind,
The moon is sitting on the rock.
Wild ducks fly in the air,
They rush into the shadows.
I lay down but I can’t sleep,
I ponder on our reunion;
While I'm singing joyfully,
The new day arrives.
