清零頌

清零頌

1. 平水韻

綠水青山枉自多，華佗無奈疫情何。千城靜態人疲倦，萬戶查酸亦頌歌。
世界他邦紛放手，天朝獨地築安窠。中僑欲問回鄉事，諸碼繁紛旅計拖。

Ode to Covid-zero Movement

What’s the use of green mountains and rivers
If Magic doctor can do nothing about Covid 19?
Men are tired of large scale lock downs of cities
Yet media praises mass testing again and again
Many countries in the world have lifted the ban
Our dynasty alone builds something to close us in
When overseas Chinese think of visiting the motherland
The many confusing codes scare wits out of the brain

2. 中華新韻

清規各處萬千條，滿市白衣競舜堯。
封堵隨心憑個例，隔離趁夜上冥橋。
三樓五廈憋聲應，四舍八鄰鐵器敲。
國際歌聞徒壯烈，當心滋事進拘牢。

Many rules vary from place to place
The Big Whites each acts as if he is wise
One isolate case leads to locking downs at will
To quarantine, a bus at night fell to its demise
Sounds of suppressed anger echo among buildings
Banging metals the neighbors let out their cries
Useless is the heroic song of International
Beware, there police might give you a surprise
