昨夜寒霜瘋狂的愛

使楓葉倏地羞成赤紅

The mad passionate love with last night's frost

made the maple leaves suddenly turn crimson in shame.

 

2

嫩綠的臉蛋泛上脂彩

楓樹一夜由女孩成熟為少婦

Light green cheeks now flooded with rouge,

overnight the maple girls matured into young women.



3

溫差是魔術棒

黎明前煮熟遍山葉子

Temperature change is a magic wand

cooking up a mountainside of leaves before dawn.


4

是一群鮮活的蝦蟹掉進沸水嗎？

墨綠突變為團團殷紅。

A mass of fresh lobsters and crabs dropped into boiling water?

Dark green suddenly turned into deep red.


5

楓樹昨夜豪飲西風醉倒

今晨依舊滿臉酡然

Last night the maple trees got drunk on the west wind.

This morning their faces are still flushed.


6

片片紅楓是盞盞燈籠掛在樹梢

把深秋的藍空燒個通紅

So many red maples, so many red lanterns hanging on branches,

burn the blue skies of autumn red through and through.


7

楓林失火了！

可眼前無煙無熱

只有秋色如畫

Fire in the maple grove!

But there's no smoke, no heat,

nothing but a picturesque autumn scene.
