梅花開後桃花開  Following plum flowers pears are in bloom

《A Poem with Comrade Dong Bi Wu Rhymes (2) 1946》Zhu De

歷年征戰未離鞍  Years in battle I have been on saddles all the time
贏得邊區老少安  Frontier people young and old are now safe and fine
耕者有田風俗厚  Every farmer owns his land a reality confirmed
仁人施政法刑寬  With kind leadership punishment for crimes is mild
實行民主真行憲  Practicing democracy and adhering to our Constitution
只見公僕不見官  We see civil servants and no powerful officials
陝北齊聲歌解放  In northern Shanxi people sing to rejoice for liberation
豐衣足食萬家歡  Rich in food and clothing all families happy in celebration

《Travelling the Seven-Star Cliffs_1959》 Zhu De

七星降人間  The seven immortals have come to dwell on earthly sight
仙姿實可攀  Their fairy peaks we could now freely climb7-Star
久居高要地  They had dwelled on lands high
仍是發沖冠  Trees and greeneries loam over their tops nigh
開心才見膽  Happily we see their bosoms opened wide
破腹任人鑽  Allowing travelers to loiter as much as they like
腹中天地闊  Inside the hills a world of wonders in space wide
常有渡人船  People paddle boats through rather than hike

《太行春感_1939》朱德(1886-1976) 江紹倫英譯

《太行春感_1939》朱德《Spring Thoughts at Mt. Taiheng_1939》 Zhu De

遠望春光鎮日陰  From afar the town Spring Light looks cloudy
太行高聳氣森森  The towering Mt. Taiheng has an air eerie
忠肝不洒中原淚  Dutiful sons of our motherland shed no tears leaving the central plain
壯志堅持北代心  Determined we will drive the enemy north our will pristine
百戰新師驚賊膽  The New Army in many battles has shattered Japanese guts to ruins
三年苦斗獻吾身  In three years of bitter fighting I have devoted to pursue victory
從來燕趙多豪傑  Our country has seen many heroes and fierce fighters in history
驅逐倭兒共一樽  We will drink to celebrate whence we rid of the Japan dwarfs totally

《出太行_1940》《To Friends_1941》朱德(1886-1976) 江紹倫英譯

《出太行_1940》《Out of Mt. Taiheng_1940》 Zhu De

群峰壁立太行頭  Mt. Taiheng’s many peaks stand like a solid wall
天險黃河一望收  Towering on the Yellow River shores seen once for all
兩岸烽煙紅似火  Battling fires on both banks burn like red fire
此行當可慰同仇  This campaign will rid of our common enemy entire

【一九四Ο年五月,經洛陽去重慶談判,中途返延安。是時抗戰緊急,內戰又起,國人皆憂。】 Continue reading
