苦水出玫瑰（双语） 

文/王一如 

苦水飞出咱香玫瑰 

种花的秀才去不回 

山沟可都是富硒的壤 

催着咱紫玫瑰乐乐地长 

咱红玫瑰寄给城里人 

可城里人懂不懂这深沉？ 

快把咱罗曼蒂克写作诗 

让金童玉女动心思 

让种花的秀才天上知 

注：苦水玫瑰，产于甘肃，闻名于世。据考是百年前一位当地秀才引进的。 

英译： 

Roses from Bitter Water 

My sweet roses fly out of Bitter Water, 

No longer seeing the grower, a scholar. 

The mounts have selenium-rich soil, 

To make my purple roses much enjoy. 

My red roses will be sent to town people, 

But what a deep meaning, do they know? 

How romantic, I’ll soon write a poem, 

Letting girls and boys enlightened, 

And the scholar happy in the heaven.
