风啊！切开这炎热，

O wind, rend open the heat,

劈破这酷暑，

cut apart the heat,

撕它个粉碎。

rend it to tatters.

果实不能坠地

Fruit cannot drop

穿不破这闷浊的空气——

through this thick air—

果实不能落下

fruit cannot fall into heat

透不过这蒸腾逼压的热气

that presses up and blunts

是它使葡萄滚圆

the points of pears

把梨子尖角磨平

and rounds the grapes.

斩断这闷热——

Cut the heat—

犁破热浪开路，

plough through it,

把它掀在你前进的

turning it on either side

路边。

of your path.
