Avril

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG

Déjà les beaux jours, — la poussière,
Un ciel d'azur et de lumière,
Les murs enflammés, les longs soirs ; —
Et rien de vert : — à peine encore
Un reflet rougeâtre décore
Les grands arbres aux rameaux noirs !

Ce beau temps me pèse et m'ennuie.
— Ce n'est qu'après des jours de pluie
Que doit surgir, en un tableau,
Le printemps verdissant et rose,
Comme une nymphe fraîche éclose,
Qui, souriante, sort de l'eau.

四月

Language: Chinese (中文) after the French (Français)

良辰来临伴尘飞扬，
天空蔚蓝而且明亮，
火焰墙壁傍晚漫长;-
满目不见绿踪何往
好象只有红反光
大树黑枝得装璜！

晴天令我好生紧张。
好景新雨之后更棒
春天碧绿伴与鲜红，
相互交融进入画里，
仙女莅临凡世，
乍出碧波笑容。
