Pleasure in Cultivation by Mao Zedong ~ 毛泽东 《耕田乐》 with English Translations

作品原文

毛泽东 《耕田乐》

耕田乐，
天天有事做。近冲一墩田，
近水一墩望
多年副产积满仓。
农事毕，读书甚馨香，
坐待时机自主张。

英文译文

Pleasure in Cultivation

Pleasure in cultivation,
Everyday you do something.
A plot of field is near the valley,
And if you look from the mound near the water,
The granary is bursting with non-staple goods of many years.
When farming is finished,
Reading is of fragrance,
And I am waiting for opportunities to make my own decisions.
