Pompeian Olives
Against the grimness of the Vesuvius
Flicker 1 the sunflowers flaming and fierce
Dazzling from the Apennines horizon
To the canvas Van Gogh used to brighten
For three days and three nights molten rocks flowed
Pompeii was caught 'n' completely swallowed
This Mediterranean 2 pearl of the past
Under the ashes was able to last
Roman history was a long, long river
Where some drops were sweet, but more were bitter
From bitterness grow the hillside olives
Gentle and firm, with peace as their motives 3
庞贝灾后的橄榄
威苏维火山的阴沉
衬托着亚平宁原野
梵高向日葵灼人的鲜艳。
三昼夜岩浆的肆虐
掩护了庞贝城
古代地中海夺目的璀璨。
罗马史长河里几多苦水
滋养了山脚下
淡雅、平和、不屈不挠的橄榄……
