《Autumn Song》Lu Yu Xi
自古逢秋悲寂寥 People drag the melancholy of autumn since old
我言秋日勝春朝 I say autumn days outshine spring morns total
晴空一鹤排雲上 A single crane sours above clouds in a fine day
便引詩情到碧霄 It evokes inspiration of green skies for poets to praise
The Lane of Mansions (Tang) Liu Yu Xi (772-842) 江紹倫譯
By the Red Bird Bridge wild grass grow
By the Lane of Mansions the sun sets low
Swallows which frequented painted eaves in bygone days
They skim by common people’s dwellings today
巴山楚水淒涼地
二十三年棄置身
懷舊空吟聞笛賦
到鄉翻似爛柯人
沉舟側畔千帆過
病樹前頭萬木春
今日聽君歌一曲
暫憑杯酒長精神
Echoing Bai Ju Yi on Our First Meeting Liu Yu Xi (772-842) 江紹倫譯
The south-west mountain and river region is desolation
Where in exile for twenty-three years I had lived in isolation
To mourn for departed friends I croon hearing but bamboo cries
On native land I existed like caste debris
A thousand sails had passed this sunken ship by
Ten thousand flowers had bloomed around this injured tree
As I hear you chant this comradeship melody today
I raise this cup to wish our good spirit will forever stay
楊柳青青江水準
聞郎江上唱歌聲
東邊日出西邊雨
道是無晴卻有晴
Nineteen Bamboo Song (I) Liu Yu Xi (772-842) 江紹倫譯
Meandering through green willows the river murmurs on
I hear you on your boat singing me a song
While the sun shines in the east the west is in rain
You my dear appears aloof but your love for me is plain
