The fall

Do you see the sun today?
The sun rises with warm sunbeams,
White clouds are drifting,
The birds fly in the blue sky.

Do you hear the birds singing in the trees?
Sparrows, nightingales, and I don’t know,
The sound of children from all over the streets,
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Do you smell the scent around here?
The flavor of ripe guava fruits,
The fragrance of Moon cakes from the kitchen,
Have you ever tasted this?

Walking on the roads,
Feeling the breeze,
Do you feel that autumn is coming?
Close your eyes, and you’ll see.
