許其正：春天忙碌著

春天忙碌著

忙碌得滿身大汗

忙碌得氣喘吁吁

忙碌得一點空閒都沒有

也忙碌得笑逐顏開，歡天喜地

她忙碌著

忙碌於拿著一支火把

到處去點火：

把乾枯的禿枝點上熊熊的綠芽

把草木枝頭點起各種顏色的花朵

並且叫蝴蝶成為流動的閃爍霓虹燈

她忙碌著

忙碌於揮著一根棒子

指揮會發聲的昆蟲歌唱、演奏

時而是獨唱，時而是合唱

也演奏交響，也演奏小夜曲

時不時也為歌唱伴奏

她忙碌著

忙碌於送溫暖給大地

忙碌於督促懶散者勤奮起來

忙碌於……

是的，她忙碌著

她忙碌得滿身大汗

忙碌得氣喘吁吁

忙碌得一點空閒也沒有

可是她毫不倦怠，整日連夜

笑逐顏開，歡天喜地

她最大的希望是

世上萬物都甦醒過來，活動起來

並且繁榮起來，繽紛起來……

Spring is Busy Now　Hsu ChiCheng

Spring is busy now

Out of breath

Sweating all over

Getting no while to rest

Yet she appears joyful, beaming with smiles

She is busy now

Busy at lighting a fire here and there

With a torch

To light green buds and flowers

On withered trees and branches

And turn butterflies into neon lights flashing

She is busy now

Busy at waving a baton

To direct insect’s singing

Sometimes solo, sometimes chorus

And playing a symphony or serenade

Sometimes playing the accompaniment

She is busy now

Busy at sending warmth to the land

Busy at urging the lazy ones to be diligent

Busy at…

Yes. She is busy indeed

Dead tired, out of breath

Sweating all over

Getting no while to rest

Yet she doesn’t feel tired and works day and night

Always appearing joyful, beaming with smiles

Her best wish is to see

All things on earth come back to life

Then growing, blossoming…
