李賀 (790-816)_金銅仙人辭漢歌

[金銅仙人辭漢歌並序
魏明帝青龍元年八月　詔宮官牽車西取漢孝武捧露盤仙人   欲立置前殿。宮官既拆盤　仙人臨載乃潸然淚下。唐諸王孫李長吉遂作金銅仙人辭漢歌。]

茂陵劉郎秋風客　夜聞馬嘶曉無跡
畫欄桂樹懸秋香　三十六宮土花碧
魏官牽車指千里　東關酸風射眸子

空將漢月出宮門　憶君清淚如鉛水
衰蘭送客咸陽道　天若有情天亦老
攜盤獨出月荒涼　渭城已遠波聲小

Li He (790-816)
From the Han Palace the Bronze Statue Depart  江紹倫譯

The Emperor gone like an autumn breeze
His steed neighed at night by dawn no trace
In the painting laurel trees stood mute besides guarding rails
Invading moss grew covering grounds of his thirty-six palaces
The palace attendants prepared a carriage to cover a thousand li
At the Eastern Passacid wind twirled to deter him from advancing

Only the moon of yesterday saw him leave the palace door
Overcame by sadness tears rolled like running mercury
Only withering orchids said adieu to bid him farewell
If there was heavenly love it would grow old as well
For a companion a desolate moon remained on a silver plate not abate
The capital was far behind as his gallop roars faded

蒋 捷 (?1274)

一剪梅
舟过吴江

一片春愁待酒浇   江上舟摇   楼上帘招   秋娘渡与泰娘桥   风又飘飘   雨又萧萧
何日归家洗客袍   银字笙调   心字香烧   流光容易把人抛   红了樱桃   绿了芭蕉

(吴江：今江苏省县名，在苏州南面、太湖东面。“秋娘渡”、“泰娘桥”：均为吴江地名。银字笙：乐器名，是笙管的一种。心字香：一种香名。据说是以香粉成心字形。)

Jiang Jie (fr. 1274) 江紹倫譯

Tune: A Twig of Mume Blossoms
Sailing through River Wu 

Boundless sorrows await relief drown in vernal wine
Down river currents my skiff cruises fine
Tavern banners on banks eagerly wave and wind
Advancing Autumn Passdown the QinBridge
Winds bellow
Rains chatter

Whence I’m home to rid off my wandering itch
With a silver flute I play
With an incense burner I cogitate
Time rush renders life in haste
Red cherries glean
Green bananas beam

歐陽炯 (895-971) 

南鄉子

岸遠沙平   日斜歸路晚霞明
孔雀自憐金翠尾   臨水   認得行人驚不起

Ouyang Jiong (895-971)     江紹倫譯

Tune: Song of Southern Home

The riverbanks extend far where sands pale
The setting sun goes where a dyed sky its shines fade
Peacocks caringly preen their tails golden green
Near the pond
Fearing not the passers-by they gleam
