Lyrics of sparrow by Hu Botao(hu bo tao ma que ge ci )

Tired of walking, I sat on a ridge by the side of the road and watched people transplanting rice seedlings.

A sparrow came over and hopped and chirped beside me.

Why are you so happy?

Because people are transplanting rice seedlings. Soon, heavy rice will grow.

But those are not yours.

When I fly in the sky, all I can see is what I have.

That's just your imagination. When the rice is ripe, even if you steal a few, you will be driven away.

But I still have them.

Those don't really belong to you.

Yes, what really belongs to me is a small nest and a straw. You may own a tree and a room, but even if you own a forest and a city, what's the difference between us? Under the sky, in front of time, we are as small as dust.

Breeze, sparrow is still jumping, I look at the sky, the sky looked at us, do not speak.
