To The Oak

Shu Ting

If I love you

I won't wind upon you like a trumpet creeper

I won't wind upon you like a trumpet creeper

Borrow your high branches to show off myself.

Upvalue myself by your height

If I love you

I will never follow a spoony bird

I will never follow a spoony bird

repeating the monotune song for the green shade

and not only like a springhead

not only like a springhead

which always sends a cool breeze.

brings you clean coolness whole year long

Not only like a steepy peak

not only like a steepy peak

increases your height and sets off your majesty.

enhances your height, sets off your straightness

even daylight.

even sunshine

Even spring rain.

and spring rain

No, none of this is enough!

No, all these are not enough!

I must be a ceiba by your side

Standing with you as a tree.

as a tree standing together with you

Roots, clasped in the ground,

our roots melt underneath

Leaves, touching in the clouds.

our leaves merge in clouds

when wind breezes

we greet each other

but no one

but no one

hears us. p>

can understand our words.

Can understand our peculiar words

You have your strong stem and branches

like knives and swords

and also the strongest of all.

like knives and swords

and like halberds

I have my red ample flowers

like heavy sighs

like heavy sighs

and heroic torches

and heroic torches

and heroic torches

.

and heroic torches as well

we partake cold tide,thunder storm,firebolt

we share brume,flowing mist,rainbows

together we share brume, flowing mist, rainbow

as if we separate all the time

actually we forever rely on each other

and that's why we share the brume, the flowing mist, the rainbow.

this is great love

loyalty lives here

Love

Love

not only your giant body

Love not only your giant body

but also the ground you hold on to, the ground beneath your feet.

but also the position you stand, the earth under your feet
