你对我来说
不是地图上陌生的异域
不是万里之外的白求恩的故乡
而是脚下的这片土地

To me,
You are neither a strange foreign land on the map,
nor the hometown of Dr. Bethune,
which is ten thousand kilometers away.
You are the land under my feet.

你是我爬过的巍峨的落基山脉
是我滑下的陡峭的翠湖岭雪道
是我走过的一片片仙踪绿野
是满山的红黄枫叶
是林间的百鸟鸣叫
是马路上昂首缓行的大雁

You are the towering Rocky Mountains
I have climbed up,
The snow trails in steep Mount Tremblant
where I have slipped down,
the fairyland and green fields
in which I have walked by.
You are red and yellow maple leaves
all over the mountains,
the tweet birds in the forest,
And the wild geese that head up
walking slowly across the road.

你是一辆辆准时的黄色校车
是一杯杯香气扑鼻的提姆霍顿咖啡
是散步时来自陌生人的问候
是每天遇到的一张张亲切的笑脸

You are yellow school buses running on time,
Cups of tasty Tim Horton coffee.
You are the greetings
from strangers during a walk,
And the smiling faces
that I encounter everyday.

这里的冬天虽然漫长
心里却总是如沐春风
二零二零年过半
与你一起走过了难忘的艰难日子
但我坚信
没有不能融化的冰雪

Although the winter is pretty long here,
My heart is always like a breeze in spring.
The year of 2020 is half gone,
I have walked through unforgettable
hard days with you.
But I do believe
That there is no snow that won’t be melted.

这里 和平安居的人们
骄傲且谦卑
这里 热情友善的国民
平凡而光辉
这些寻常可得的珍贵和恩惠
是夜空中耀眼的节日礼花
加拿大，祝你生日快乐！

Here we are, the people who live peacefully,
And who are proud and humble.
Here we are, the people who are warmhearted and friendly,
And who are ordinary and glorious.
The rare and grace, that we can enjoy everyday,
Are the dazzling festival fireworks in the sky of night,
Canada, May we vent out the words
from the most inner hearts

Happy Canada Day!
