雲横遠渚岫重重 Clouds line up mountain ranges with no divide
野花猶向澗邊红 Wild flowers shine the stream banks in red light
閑支藜杖醉吟風 Leaning on my cane tipsily I sing to the wind
小春天氣惱人濃 Only this unpredictable weather has my mind unsettling
《Tune: For the Bridegroom • To Prime Minister Lee》 Zhang Yuen Gan (1091-1161)
曳杖危樓去 I ascent the tower helped by my cane
斗垂天 The Big Dipper hangs
滄波萬頃 In the river billows surge high and wide
月流煙渚 On the foggy landing the moon shines
掃盡浮雲風不定 Clouds driven away winds remain
未放扁舟夜渡 No boat will carry me over the river tonight
宿雁落 Wild geese roost
寒蘆深處 Deep in reeds
悵望關河空弔影 Here I look for my lone shadow
正人間鼻息鳴鼉鼓 Where people dwell snoring rise like drumming
誰伴我 Who would keep step with me
醉中舞 To dance in drunken spree Continue reading
瑤草一何碧 Divine Grasses are green all over
春入武陵溪 Spring at Peach Flower Valley hover
溪上桃花無數 Where peach flowers bloom in huge numbers
枝上有黃鸝 Oriels on every branch linger
我欲穿花尋路 I try to find my path through the flowers
直入白雲深處 To enter where clouds flow
浩氣展虹霓 And feel the grandeur of the rainbow
只恐花深裏 My concern rests with the flowers
紅露濕人衣 Their red dews may wet my clothes
坐玉石 倚玉枕 Reclining against a boulder I sit
拂金徽 And adjust notes melodic
謫仙何處 Where is Li Bai the legend poet
無人伴我白螺杯 Who would drink with me this minute
我為靈芝仙草 I seek for grass immortal
不為朱唇丹臉 Not for fame or worldly materials
長嘯亦何為 I croon to no avail
醉舞下山去 Tipsy I walk down the hill carefully
明月逐人歸 The moon follows me home willingly
《無題》寒山 (唐) 《No Title》 Han Shen (Tang Dynasty)
自樂平生道 My way of life features self-recreation
煙蘿石洞間 Living in a cave up on high mountain
野情多放曠 ’Tis a natural feeling of being wild and free
長伴白雲間 With white clouds keeping me company Continue reading
《悟道詩》 劉悟元(1673-1725) 江紹倫英譯
堪破浮生一也無
單身隻影走江湖
鳥飛魚躍藏真趣
大夢埸中誰覺我
綠水青山是道圖
千峰頂上視迷途
終朝睡在鴻蒙竅
一任時人牛馬呼 Continue reading
