許其正：拯救屈原

鼓聲鼕鼕，鼓聲鼕鼕

吶喊聲聲，吶喊聲聲

龍船向前，向前再向前

大家戮力划著

我們不是在玩遊戲

是為了拯救屈原

是為了拯救詩

今天是端午

不要只知道吃粽子

卻不知道屈原受盡委屈

抱持耿耿忠心，僻處一隅

竟至投江而死

更不要不知道時至今日

詩也受盡委屈

划龍船多有詩意都於事無補

屈原已成曠古冤魂

詩也已經只有小眾參與

更要我們戮力拯救

不能讓它也與屈原同沉江底

咿呀嘿，咿呀嘿

我們戮力向前划

不怕千辛萬苦

我們要拯救屈原

也要不停地拯救詩

讓忠義詩花隨時隨處綻放

千秋萬世，香火永續傳承……

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…@
