Art/Literary - Folklore / 裕固族 | | Chinese term or phrase: '花不过彩楼的绣球' | 喜看今日裕固族草原,出现了一片繁荣的新气象.正如裕固族民歌中所唱的:
"圆不过月亮方不过斗,
花不过彩楼的绣球.
永远跟着共产党走,
幸福的日子还在后头." |

同上条：
Colourfulest is the embroidered ball,
and trustworthies is our Party,
Who brings happiness that will never end.
建议把彩楼略去，本来诗中有“彩楼”也是为了对仗需要，英文已经够长了就可以略去。另外，这几个形容词最高级正常来说都该是most结构，但为了诗的味道，可以这么处理，且不用加the。

flower less than festal house silk-strip ball.
Always follow the Communist Party
the happiest days are still to come."
