鼓声咚咚，鼓声咚咚
呐喊声声，呐喊声声
龙船向前，向前再向前
大家戮力划着
我们不是在玩游戏
是为了拯救屈原
是为了拯救诗

今天是端午
不要只知道吃粽子
却不知道屈原受尽委屈
抱持耿耿忠心，僻处一隅
竟至投江而死
更不要不知道时至今日
诗也受尽委屈
划龙船多有诗意都于事无补
屈原已成旷古冤魂
诗也已经只有小众参与
更要我们戮力拯救
不能让它也与屈原同沉江底

咿呀嘿，咿呀嘿
我们戮力向前划
不怕千辛万苦
我们要拯救屈原
也要不停地拯救诗
让忠义诗花随时随处绽放
千秋万世，香火永续传承……

Saving Qu Yuan　Hsu chiCheng

Gongs and drums
Whooping up
Dragon boats are marching forward
We all try our best to paddle
We are not playing
But saving Qu Yuan
And saving poetry

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival
Some ones only like to eat rice dumpling
But don’t know today is the date of Qu Yuan’s black Friday
On which Qu Yuan drowned himself into a river with stone
While in exile from a corrupt court
Some ones do not know
That poetry today sustains grievance
It is no use dragon boat racing
Qu Yuan has been an unjust-treated soul for thousands of years
And poetry has got into a narrow lane
Therefore, we must do our best, with one mind in joint
To save Qu Yuan and poetry

Oh alas! Oh alas!
Paddle! Paddle!
No fear of toils. No fear of sweating
We must save Qu Yuan
We must save poetry
To let the flowers of poetry appear everywhere
From generation to generation…@
