A great poet is about to be born

A great poet is about to be born!

On the Gobi Desert,

There is a Populus euphratica.

Populus euphratica is strong,

The branches are thick,

The leaves grow and fall, and the leaves grow and grow,

Year after year!

Above the dunes,

There was a young man,

Deep eyes, high nose,

With a strong physique,

The wind and sand blew for a year, and for another year,

Year after year!

The banks of the river,

There was a girl,

Like willow leaves,

The eyes are full of spring wind,

The snow floated for a year, and for another year,

Year after year!

In the Populus euphratica forest,

There was a couple,

Passionate embrace,

Kiss each other affectionately,

The river flows for a year, and for another year,

Year after year!

The Tarim River,

Day and night.

Yellow sand is long,

The dunes are thick.

The wind blows the Populus euphratica, the leaves whirl,

A great poet is about to be born!
