1.《侃谈》
白天, 一个金黄的饼子
夜晚, 一碗洁白的米饭
就这样看着, 人与虎豹的较量
但愿所有的枪口, 对着豺狼, 守望牛羊
美丽富饶的大地, 渴望雨露, 拥抱阳光
鸽子在蓝天之上, 风和日丽
蛟龙在大海腾跃, 巨轮劈波斩浪
命运握在自己手上
1.Conversations
During the day, a golden flat cake
At night, a bowl of clean white rice
Just watch, humans and tiger and leopard take on each other
I wish all the guns were at the jackals , protecting the cows and sheep
Beautiful and fertile land, longing for rain and dew, embracing the sun
Pigeons above the blue sky,
the wind is gentle and the sun is shining
Dragons leaping in the sea, and giant ships cutting through the waves
Your fate is in your own hands
2.《听一个拣破烂的阿婆说》
我出生1949, 十几岁我就参加了
清理街道垃圾的工作
那时只拣些废旧的垃圾
和一些烂菜叶子什么的
后来的垃圾, 也多了也好了
改革开放以后, 日收入比月收入还多
金银珠宝在罐头瓶子与鞋子里搁
我经常高兴得失眠
但棚户区的所见所闻
让我不得不产生思索
拣垃圾拣破烂, 看到了豪车别墅
老阿婆老了, 经历的太多,
听到看见的太多, 至今总爱琢磨
我要去人民英雄纪念碑
和毛主席纪念堂
敢冋昔日的红米饭南瓜汤
还能不能上钱权交易的餐桌
2.Listen to What an Old Woman
Who Picks up Trash Says
I was born in 1949, and I joined
cleaning up the garbage on the street, when I was in my teens
At that time, we only picked up some waste garbage and some rotten vegetable leaves
Later, the garbage also increased and got better
After the reform and opening up, daily income is more than monthly income
Gold and silver jewelry are placed inside canned bottles and shoes
I often get so happy that I can not sleep
But what I saw in the shantytown
It makes me think
Picking up garbage and junk, I saw luxury cars and villas
I am getting old, have experienced too much, and have seen too much
I still love to ponder about it
I'm going to the Monument of the People's Heroes and the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao
Dare to recall the red rice and pumpkin soup of the past
Can they still be at the table of money and power transactions?
3.《土地的质疑》
今天的土地, 都被化肥农药渗透了
还能生长出什么样的东西
请把饱满的种子撒进广阔的田野
让今天的餐桌上摆满绿,别让病从口入
一日三餐让人, 吃上放心的米粒
不要再迷信,使用化肥农药的产量巨增
中国人种田, 不光为了吃饱肚皮
更是为了民富国强
3.Questioning the Land
Today's land is permeated with fertilizers and pesticides
What else can grow out of it?
Please scatter the plump seeds into the vast fields
Let the table be full of green today
Don't let disease enter through the mouth
Three meals a day, let people eat assured rice grains
Don't be superstitious that the yield will increase dramatically by using fertilizers and pesticides
Chinese people grow crops not only to fill their bellies
It is for the sake of national prosperity and strength
