Garden

Yi duo mei li di mu dan hua ban xiang

Song dong di ya chi yi yang luo xia, luo xia

Yi kuai qing hei mo se di shi tou pu man le tai xian you dian xiang

yi zuo shan shui hua li di xuan ya

Jin yu bai bai wei ba you lai you qu xiang

Gu shi li dao chu xun zhao qi di he shang

Xi que pai pai chi bang, tou guo yang guang Hao xiang na ren ying chong chong

da qiao shang di gang liang

This scene could be more than the sum of its parts

If only I knew what to mend

If clearly the flora cohere in the art

Is tending this garden a means or an end

Yi duo mei li di lian hua, hua ti xiang

Gu shi li xin you zheng you kong di xue zhe

Liu shu fu mo chi tang di shui mian hao xiang na kai shi ai shang

Zi ji dao ying di shao nü

Xing ji di chun chan tuo luo wai gu ge

Qing wen shu pi ying feng ge chang

Dai zhe gou huo yan wei di hai wu hao xiang ba yi qie zhao shang

Yi zhong shu xi di shen mi

This scene could be more than the sum of its parts

If only I knew what to mend

If clearly the flora cohere in the art

Is tending this garden a means or an end

There's only so much I can grow

This place gets so little sun

Someday I'll go where the water flows

For now, will you lend me your green thumb

So that a few of these creatures survive

With their tender tendrils, and tentative petals. And say

What do I do if they thrive

Do I let them grow old? Or pluck them for others to hold

If I let them grow old, will anyone reap what I've sown

There's only so much I can grow

This place gets so little sun

Someday I'll go where the water flows

For now, will you lend me your green thumb

So that a few of these creatures survive

With their tender tendrils, and tentative petals. And say

What do I do if they thrive

Do I let them grow old? Or pluck them for others to hold
