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…@
