滾滾長江東逝水
浪花淘盡英雄
是非成敗轉頭空
青山依舊在
幾度夕陽紅
白發漁樵江渚上
慣看秋月春風
一壺濁酒喜相逢
古今多少事
都付笑談中
《農夫問道》 布袋和尚(唐)
手執青秧種福田
低頭便見水中天
六根清淨方為道
退步原來是向前
《To a Farmer 》Cotton Bag Monk (Tang Dynasty)
I plant a rich paddy field tender shoots in hand
In the water the sky smiles at me as I bow my head
Keeping my mind serene I surely see the Way
Every backward step means forward progress made Continue reading
同窗華仁在九龍
負笈共遊再美東

《Tune: Silky Sand Brook》Ouyang Xu
堤上游人逐畫船 People on the dyke follow the ornate boat
拍堤春水四垂天 Spring tides caress the shore their froths unfold
綠楊樓外出鞦韆 From outside the green wall a swing occasionally shows Continue reading
《Tune: Partridge Sky》Su Shi
林斷山明竹隱墻 Where woods divide and bamboos hide the hills are vivid
亂蟬衰草小池塘 On wilted grass cicadas sing on a pond’s limit
翻空白鳥時時見 White birds show their skillful wings before our eyes
照水紅蕖細細香 Reflected on fragrant red lilies they frequently shine Continue reading
【盼望著,盼望著,終於來了。四月卄四日初逢燕歸,喜而作】
聲聲喚燕燕未回
猶記歸日賀兒生*
忽覺片陰掠地過
蔚藍天高燕雙飛
年年盼倦天涯眼
巢破仍訪痴情人**
* (有一年歸期剛巧是四月初長子之生日)
** (燕巢初築於鄰家無門車房,後被鄰居搗毀, 無復見了, 想仍在附近吧。)

《Tune: River All Red – To Officer Zhu》Su Shi
江漢西來 The Yangzi and Han rivers from the west meet
高樓下 Right at the tall Crane Tower’s feet
葡萄深碧 Waters green as grapes
猶自帶 They carry
岷峨雲浪 Snow ripples from Mt. Omei
錦江春色 To display spring in scenic beauty
君是南山遺愛守 You are the benevolent officer from South Mountain
我為劍外思歸客 I a roamer longing for my native Sichuan home
對此間 On this encounter
風物豈無情 All events and times are rich in affection
殷勤說 To dialogue in satisfaction Continue reading
《Tune: Riverside City Song》 Su Shi
墨雲拖雨過西樓 Dark clouds carry heavy rain past tower west
水東流 Heavy currents eastward crest
晚煙收 Evening haze ceased
柳外殘陽 Beyond the willows the sun sets in peace
回照動簾鉤 Its lingering rays shine on curtain hooks
今夜巫山真個好 How wonderful this night is in Mt Mu
花未落 Flowers blooming still
酒新篘 New wines drained and full Continue reading
《Tune: Wine Spring Song》Pan Lang
長憶觀潮 Tide watching stays in my memory always
滿郭人爭江上望 The city was out to watch the majestic beauty
來疑滄海盡成空 Tides came as if the sea was being emptied
萬面鼓聲中 Thunders roared from ten thousand places Continue reading
《Tune: River all Red•Thoughts up the Yellow Crane Tower》Yue Fei
遙望中原 I gaze on the Central Plain far away
荒煙外 Beyond the wasteland
許多城郭 How many deserted towns and city walls
想當年 In years of yore
花遮柳護 Behind screens of lush willows and colorful flowers
鳳樓龍閣 Stood many bowers and majestic towers
萬歲山前珠翠繞 The Royal Hill adorned in pearls and emeralds
篷壺殿里笙歌作 In the Fairy Palace flute songs echo
到而今 鐵騎滿郊畿 Now behold enemy iron horses trod all over
風塵惡 Followed by dusts in fierce gusts Continue reading
