3. Chinese text & English translation of "野火 (Wildfire)" by 林聲翕：

* 野火 / 林聲翕

是野火吧! 在頻燒! 冲過了樹林，冲上了天!
昨天我也看見炊煙! 不似今晚，紅舌抱緊山腰!

沉夜壓得住魔鬼的獰狂? 槍聲從遠山接到回響。
狗拖著腥臭，煙焇倒了，染著紫紅的花在路旁。

萍姑跟緊了我走，媽絕不能放手；還有，那是我的箱籠，
啊不! 你記住，你爹躺在山後，沒有了頭。

* Wildfire / Lyrics: S.-Y. Wan; Music: S.-S. Lin

It's wildfire! It's burning through the woods and into the sky!
Yesterday I also saw cooking smoke! But tonight’s red tongue hugs the mountainside tightly!

Can the heavy night suppress the devil's fury? The gunshot echoes from the distant mountains.
The dogs trail the stench of corpses, the smoke columns fall, and the flowers dyed purple are on the sides of the road.

Aunt Ping follows me closely, and never let go of Mom; besides, that is my cage,
Ah no! Remember, your father was lying behind the mountain without his head.
