Elia
I have a gift for you,
You said,
with the sun in your eyes
with the summer on your face.
What? I asked.
Here is the olive tree -- elia.
It's beautiful. I said.
Yes. But it needs care.
It needs water if you want it to grow.
It needs sun if you want the fruit.
Elia,
A beautiful tree
伊里雅 (是希腊语的橄榄树)
我给你带来了一个礼物
你说
太阳的光亮在你的眼里
夏的热情在你的脸上
是什么?我问
一棵橄榄树--伊里雅
很漂亮,我说
是的,
但它需要细心的呵护
它需要水如果你想它长高
它需要阳光如果你要它的果实
伊里雅
一棵美丽的树
