Could you be so kind as to spare some of your precious time and translate my poor poem as you always do?  My thanks beforehand.  

Well, based on your greatly admired version, here comes my shoddy one for your correction.

半绕青山逐小溪，
随波来到古桥西。
柳枝初嫩花无影，
村左黄莺向客啼。


A
I follow a little stream half circling the blue mountain bight,
As I come alongside the ripples to the west of an olden bridge,
Where the willow turning green, yet no other blooms in sight,
And only an oriole greets its guest at the entrance of the village.

(‘Bight’ a bit twist, hope it doesn’t deviate too much from its original meaning)


　　
B
Half circling the blue mountain I follow a rivulet,
As I come alongside the ripples to the west of an olden bridge,
Where the willow is verdant, but see no other blooms yet,
And only an oriole greets its guest at the entrance of the village.

( rivulet and yet, sort of ‘eye rhyme’)

I still do not have the chance to watch the crab soap you mentioned above, however, I am convinced that all the readers and  participantes involved in the translation circle love or like you and please be aware of the fact that you do have a great deal of fantastic fans, and I am proud to be one of them at least ,I have to say, buddy.
