THAT GROVE

That Grove, that grove we found jointly
That grove, that grove our secrets were concealed
That grove, that grove permeated with our love
That grove, that grove the vulgar seldom go to
That grove, that grove leaves our memories forever

Those china firs, those china firs stand silently
Those sunlight, those sunlight pass through the leaves
Those birds’ songs, those birds’ songs dropping down treetop
Those grasses, those grasses so ceaseless and soft
Those fallen leaves, those fallen leaves withered and brown
Those breeze, those breeze mild and gentle

Those laughter, those laughter no worry at all
Those singings, those singings rise and fall with pleasure
Those whispers, those whispers come from the hearts
Those calm sittings, those calm sittings deep and long
Those walking, those walking leisurely and carefree
Those shouting, those shouting for no reasons whatsoever

That grove, that grove we found jointly
That grove, that grove our secrets were concealed
That grove, that grove permeated with our love
That grove, that grove the vulgar seldom go to
That grove, that grove leaves our memories forever

附中文原詩如后:

     那個樹林    許其正

那個樹林，那個們共同發現的樹林

那個樹林，那個埋藏我們秘密的樹林

那個樹林，那個充滿我們情愛的樹林

那個樹林，那個少有俗人前往的樹林

那個樹林，那個我們永留紀念的樹林

那些杉樹，那些修長靜立的杉樹

那些陽光，那些穿過樹隙的陽光

那些鳥鳴，那些滴自樹梢的鳥鳴

那些綠草，那些綿密柔軟的綠草

那些落葉，那些乾枯褐黃的落葉

那些微風，那些溫暖輕柔的微風

那些歡笑，那些一無顧忌的歡笑

那些歌唱，那些波蕩愉悅的歌唱

那些細語，那些出自肺腑的細語

那些靜坐，那些既深且長的靜坐

那些漫步，那些悠閒自在的漫步

那些呼叫，那些毫無理由的呼叫

那個樹林，那個我們共同發現的樹林

那個樹林，那個埋藏我們秘密的樹林

那個樹林，那個充滿我們情愛的樹林

那個樹林，那個少有俗人前往的數量

那個樹林，那個我們永留紀念的樹林
