"Broken Flowers" by Li Qingzhao
Flowers bloom and fall without regret, and fate comes and goes like water.
When flowers fade, they bloom, and when flowers fly, they become sad. The sorrow of flowers is the tears of flowers, and the tears of flowers are the broken flowers.
Flowers dance, flowers shed tears, flowers cry and petals fly. For whom do you thank the flowers when they bloom? For whom do you feel sad when the flowers wither?
Translation: There is no regret when flowers bloom and fall. Fate comes and goes like running water and cannot be forced. Flowers wither in order to bloom again, but I am sad because the petals fly away.
Crying for the sadness of the flowers, and heartbroken for the tears of the flowers.
The flying flowers are like the flowers weeping, and the flowers are weeping because of the flying petals.
For whom do the flowers wither after they bloom, and for whom do they feel sad when they wither?
