[English to Chinese] A Gift for You



You don't know how difficult it is for me to find a gift for you

Nothing is right

What's the point of giving gold to gold mines or water to the ocean

I think of everything like going to the East with spices

It's no use giving my heart and soul because you already have it These

so I bring you a mirror

Look at yourself and remember me


- Rumi (translated by Roxana)


A Gift For You

You' ve no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.

Nothing seemed right.

What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.

Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.

It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.

So- I've brought you a mirror.

Look at yourself and remember me
