China Goes Olympia
China goes Olympia. In Beijing
young dog-walkers still won't smile
to the visitors while the leashed
canines bark territorially.
Eagles soar over Shanghai's tower.
Fish live dangerously in Wu's rivers.
The southern sea dozes off complacently,
happy to be faraway from the emperor.
Pentagon is on the phone day and night
while APEC sets the field on fire.
Empires fight for the gold chalice
on the battle ground where millions slave.
Brothers and sisters, hold on tight
as China takes you to a wild ride!

thx, y.y.!
always enjoy reading your "instant translation" :)
take care!
中国走向奥林匹亚。北京城里
溜狗的年轻人还没有学会
对观光客微笑,套着链的狗
狂吠地方主义
雄鹰冲向上海的高塔。
吴越河流里的鱼儿岌岌可危。
南海得意洋洋地打着盹,
庆幸天高地远,鞭长莫及
五角大楼电话昼夜彻响
APEC在油井里纵火燃烧
帝王相候争夺着金酒杯
战场上百万人为奴
兄弟姐妹们,紧紧相连吧
中国在带你们狂野行进!
