This year I plant it myself,
using my own hands.
Somebody asked me what year
I went away?
Another year,
and I came back again.
The little tree waves and shakes,
same as my hurting heart.

In Kate's World
Leonard Durso 
I so wish I had succeeded when the Australian Army sent me do a Mandarin course. I am sure you don’t get the subtle nuances in the poems.
I must rely on the translators, some of whom lived in China or Japan and learned whichever language through diligent study. This is why I will often post different translations of the same poem.
I don’t have a quarrel with that. One of the joys of reading translations is searching for other ways that something could be said.
