Desert Danxia, the changing song of a rain
1
Emperor Tianhou earth, the sound is thick, echoing this, the pipa in my hand
Sing "Xiao Xiao Twilight Rain" and float along the corridor of the ancient road
The cross-border camel caravan, crossing the pond connecting the sky, followed the same
Flying irises taught me to bounce the lute, and the strings seemed to be bouncing and surging with sweet springs
Clouds slid over the edges of the strings, and rain swirled around the edges of the camel bells
The rain and the things that use the rain as a mirror change the colors of Danxia
2
The ravine gives way to the river, and the big trees make trestles
The rain arrived with the caravan of sheepskin rafts
In the rain, some of the mustard grass was looking for its roots
Moss that once spread across the valley was found
Some moss is looking for its way
Found the warmth and calmness of the earth... A ditch found its origins
I was drenched in rain and watched the water from the gutter come ashore
It is customary to use small pebbles to float down to the reeds
3
My intoxication
Inferior to the awakening of a reed in a reed ditch
Its eyes exude wild vitality, and the ocean is wanton
Push the small pebbles that float over into the mud
I put a greeting to the rain
Turn the reed for a long time and encourage it to climb the hillside
- The reed flowers that are going to bloom on the mountainside
It is God's praise for the rebirth of vegetation
I put my appreciation for Danxia
Also turn to this reed from a full perspective
-----------------
Unable to accept the tenderness of the blades of grass and the gentleness of the wings
In the rain, in the humid air
That reed is already a half-city reed, a half-mountain reed
Then, the grass and trees were planted, and the leaves were hidden
Swallow's scissors, cutting new clothes for the naked Danxia
4
The light suspends the water droplets
A hint of coolness lingered in my clothes for a moment
Water waves, light waves
Invisible lines paint a colorful picture, a burst of luster, warm palms
The wind blows the reeds, and the eyes of the cattle and sheep flicker
The precipitation line pushed north, and the cross-border camel caravan, walking across the water-colored moonlight, walked in the countryside
