I Ask My Mother to Sing
She begins, and my grandmother joins her.
Mother and daughter sing like young girls.
If my father were alive, he would play
His accordion and swing like a boat.
I've never been in Peking, or the Summer Palace,
nor stood on the great Stone Boat to watch
the rain begin on Kuen Ming Lake, the picnickers
running away in the grass.
But I love to hear it sung:
how the waterlilies fill with rain until
they overturn, spilling water into water,
then rock back, and fill with more.
Both women have begun to cry,
But neither stops her song.
Li-Young Lee (b. 1957)
我请我的母亲歌唱
她开始,接著我的祖母也加入
母女俩唱得像小女孩。
如果父亲还在,他会拉
他的风琴,小船般摇摆。
我没到过北京或颐和园,
也不曾站在那只大石舫上看
骤雨掠过昆明湖面,野餐者
在草地上奔散。
但我爱听她们唱;
荷叶如何注满雨水
直到承受不了,把水倾入水里
然后弹回去,再从头注起。
两个女人都开始哭了起来。
却不曾停止她们的歌唱。

FROM WIKI:
Family History
Li-Young Lee was born in 1957 in Jakarta, Indonesia to parents of opposing
backgrounds. His parents experienced life-altering events due to political
unrest and their refusal to be confined by social barriers. Lee's mother
was the daughter of the first president of the Republic of China and his
father on the other hand was from a family of gangsters and middle-class.
Lee's father, Lee Kuo Yuan, served as a the personal doctor of Mao Zedong
during the Chinese civil war and was then exiled to Indonesia. Due to Yuan's
westernized ideas and anti-Chinese movements in Indonesia, Yuan was placed
in jail for 19 months and then escaped to Hong Kong where he became an evangelist.
Soon after, his family headed to America where Yuan attended seminary and
became a Presbyterian pastor. It is the influence of Li-Young Lee's parents
that developed his love for Biblical, non-conforming attitudes into his
poetry. Lee writes with individuality and strength that was modeled in the
integrity of his father.
