(Translated another poem--Big Mice :) ) 

Big Mice

Big mice,big mice, don′t eat my rice.
Raised you for many years,while you don′t care us.
I swear to leave your place ,but go to the paradise.
Paradise,paradise, where is happiness.

Big mice,big mice, don′t eat my oats.
Raised you for many years,while you don′t appreciate us.
I swear to leave your place ,but go to the happy lands.
Happy lands,happy lands, where is worth.

Big mice,big mice, don′t eat my crops.
Raised you for many years,while you don′t thank us.
I swear to leave your place ,but go to the happy suburbs.
Happy suburbs,happy suburbs, who will cry there like this?


(Note:
This is a chinese ancient folk song of more than 2000 years old.
In the song, the laboring people compared ruler to "big mice",
and wish to get ride of exploited class and go to an utopia.)
