Beautiful Ba Tu
by Ou, Wen Wei
Ba Tu, Ba Tu,
Ba Tu, Ba Tu,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful.
Ba Tu’s mountains—tall and beautiful—
Clear and cool, we feel, clear and
cool.
The mountains are full of flowers—
The fragrance of fresh flowers—
And the birds are singing.
A harmonious beauty,
A beautiful harmony:
Beautiful harmony, harmonious beauty.
My heart
Is floating with the breeze,
Lightly floating,
Lightly floating,
Floating, floating, floating to the
sky,
Floating, floating, floating to the
sky,
Lightly floating,
Lightly floating,
Floating, floating, floating in a
dream,
Floating in a dream.
Ba Tu, Ba Tu,
Beautiful, beautiful.
Ba Tu’s mountains,
Ba Tu’s mountains—white clouds
floating,
Drizzling, drizzling,
In love with the mountain peaks,
Closely kissing the great earth.
How lovely the friendship,
How benevolent—
Benevolent friendship,
Friendly benevolence:
Benevolent friendship, friendly
benevolence.
My heart
Is sweetly intoxicated,
Sweetly intoxicated,
Sweetly intoxicated,
Intoxicated, intoxicated, intoxication
in my heart,
Intoxicated, intoxicated, intoxication
in my heart.
Sweetly intoxicated,
Sweetly intoxicated—
Intoxicated, intoxicated, intoxication
in heaven,
Intoxication in heaven.
