#ChinesePoetry #Translation #BaiJuyi

白居易
池上

褭褭涼風動
淒淒寒露零
蘭衰花始白
荷破葉猶青
獨立棲沙鶴
雙飛照水螢
若為寥落境
仍值酒初醒

Bái Jūyì
On the Pond

In fits and starts a cold wind moves,
dismally the winter dew falls.
Gradually the wilting orchid pales,
as does the broken lotus leaf’s green.
Alone on the sandbar perches the crane,
in pairs fly the watery reflection and its firefly.
In such a desolate place,
it’s worthwhile to put down the wine and begin to sober up.

Not falling into the painter’s conventional ways.
不墮畫家谿徑中。

It seems to show a mountain residence and the bright moon at night,
料得山房明月夜,

Leaf after leaf moving freely in the autumn breeze.
翛然葉葉動秋風。

(translation mine, errors mine)

To the tune of “Remembering Jiangnan”: Moon in the Sky

Moon in the sky,
In the distance like a ball made of silver.
All night long the constant wind grows stronger.
I beg it to blow the fringes of the cloud away from the moon
So its shine can reveal that unfaithful man.

無名氏

憶江南:天上月

天上月
遙望似一團銀
夜久更闌風漸緊
為奴吹散月邊雲
照見負心人
