我是你的香菜

I'm Your Coriander 

文｜白鹤清泉(Baihe Qingquan)

译｜周柯楠(Zhou Kenan)

喜欢做你的香菜

每天看着你用心挑选

I like to be your coriander 

Watching you picking carefully every day

用清水浸泡我

将我洗得干干净净

You soak me in water 

And wash me clean

让我华丽丽地等待着

等待成为你最可口的香甜

You have me wait gorgeously

Waiting to be your delicious sweetness

我来自雁塘村一条小溪边

我身上有荷花溪的漪涟

I come from a stream in Yantang Village

I have the ripples of Lotus Creek

从城里飞来的花蝴蝶

装点我园子诗意的流年

Colourful butterflies flying from the city 

Decorate the poetic fleeting years of my garden

我想和你说一辈子爱恋

天天看着你春风一样的脸

I want to tell you I love you all my life

Looking at your face like the spring breeze every day

你哼着路边的野花不要采

就那么惬意就那么缠绵

You hum "Don't pick wild flowers on the side of the road"

 So cozy and so lingering

我想守候你一世的餐点

看你飞扬的神采温暖冬天

I want to wait on you at table for life 

Watching your look of good spirits that warms the winter

飘雪的心情辽远城市的节奏

安坐寻常将茅台酒晾在一边

The mood of snowing and the rhythm of distant cities

Sitting quietly as usual with Maotai liquor put aside 

亲爱的请把我种在你的家园

或者小区路角或者你的阳台

连同我的泥土我白嫩的根

Honey, please plant me in your garden 

Or in a corner of your community or on your balcony

Along with my dirt and my tender roots

我会为你长出一片蓝天

我会生生世世清香

香透你的心田

I’ll grow a blue sky for you 

I will be fragrant generation after generation 

The fragrance will permeate your heart
