Heaven Watches On
Bai Hua
Twilight falls
My homeland dries out
A line of soldiers pass outside my home
Five willow trees stand before the gate
I sit bored by a window
Watching a man in the street eat beans
Someone opposite is ramming the earth
Someone stands around for no reason
Gazing at the hills opposite
The day is about to go out
Landlords will soon be killed
Let them do as they please
The Reds are on their way
Translation -Simon Patton 2008
