"The power of music and poetry

 I was thinking today how powerful music and poetry are in our lives. Just to hear a song can immediately take you to a place or a time in the past. How strange that in difficult times we choose to express our grief through poetry. Who would have thought we would turn to poetry ?"

 I have had a try myself first but I would like to know the correct way to express these ideas.

音乐和诗歌的力量

今天我在想在我们生活中音乐和诗歌是多么的有力量,听到一首歌曲能马上带你到一个地方或者过去的时间

Thanks Rags .That's very helpful.Before I saw this reply my friend also sent me a translation, so it is very useful to compare the two versions with my attempt.

不客气,看到你朋友的翻译了,他翻译的很好。

我是从字面的意思去翻译,想让初学中文者更容易懂点。
