Chrysanthemums    Hsu ChiCheng

Who’s the one over there
Slim and upright
Defying the cold
Never giving her way
Steadfast and chaste
Unworldly and unconventional
Who’s the one over there

Who’s the one over there
Standing against the mountain
By the huge rock
Where grow pine trees
Deigning the world
Towering at her place
Who’s the one over there

Who’s the one over there
Whom I worship
Whom I admire
Whom I often want to know
Whom I often want to see
But who is the one over there
Over there

菊    許其正

那人是誰
那娉婷直立的
那傲霜凌寒的
那高峻不屈的
那堅毅貞潔的
那淡泊不俗的
那人是誰

那人是誰
那顯現山影的
那擁有巨岩的
那長著松柏的
那遍身傲骨的
那頂立尖塔的
那人是誰

那人是誰
我是很心儀的
我是很讚佩的
我常常想認識
我常常想看見
不知那人是誰
那人是誰
