许渊冲译
花谢花飞飞满天,
As flowers fall and fly across the skies,
红消香断有谁怜?
Who rues the red that fades,the scent that dies?
游丝软系飘春榭,
Softly he gossamer floats over bowers green;
落絮轻沾扑绣帘.Gently
the willow fluff wafts to broidered screen.
闺中女儿惜春暮,
In my chamber I'm grieved to see spring depart.
愁绪满怀无释处;
Where can I pour out my sorrow-laden heart?
手把花锄出绣帘,
I step out of my portal with a hoe.
忍踏落花来复去?
On fallen petals could I come and go?
柳丝榆荚自芳菲,
Willow threads and elm leaves are fresh and gay;
不管桃飘与李飞;
They care not if peach and plum blossom drift away.
桃李明年能再发,
The peach and plum will bloom next year.
明年闺中知有谁?
But in my chamber who will then appear?
三月香巢已垒成,
By the third moon the swallows built their nest,
梁间燕子太无情!
But apathetically on the beam they rest.
明年花发虽可啄,
Next year though they may peck the buds again,
却不道人去梁空已倾. Oh in my empty chamber can their
nest remain?
一年三百六十日,
For three hundred and sixty days each year,
风刀霜剑严相逼;
The cutting wind and biting frost make flowers sear.
明媚鲜妍能几时,
How long can they blossom fresh and fair?
一朝飘泊难寻觅,
Once blown away,they cannot be found anywhere.
花开易见落难寻.
Their gravedigger,I find no flowers in bloom;
阶前闷杀葬花人;
My aching heart is further filled with gloom.
独把花锄泪暗洒,
With hoe in hand,tears secretly shed
洒上空枝见血痕.
Like drops of blood turn bare branches red.
杜鹃无语正黄昏,
As twilight falls,the cuckoos sing no more;
荷锄归去掩重门;
I come back with my hoe and close the door.
青灯照壁人初睡,
Abed in dim-lit room when night is still,
冷雨敲窗被未温.
I hear cold rain and my quilt feels damp and chill.
怪侬底事倍伤神?
I wonder why I'm thrown in such a fret:
半为怜春半恼春:
Is it for love of spring or for regret?
怜春忽至恼忽去,
I love it when it comes,regret it when it goes;
至又无言去不闻.
But spring comes and goes mute as water flows.
昨宵庭外悲歌发,
Last night from the courtyard a dirge was heard,
知是花魂与鸟魂？
Sung by the soul of flower and of bird.
花魂鸟魂总难留,
The bird's and flower's soul is hard to detain;
鸟自无言花自羞;
The flowers blush and silent birds remain.
愿奴胁下生双翼,
I long on wings to fly
随花飞到天尽头.
With the flowers to the end of the earth and sky.
天尽头!
At earth's uttermost bound,
何处有香丘?
Where can I find a fragrant burial mound?
未若锦囊收艳骨，
Why don't I shroud in silken bag the petals fair
一抔净土掩风流;
And bury them in the earth forever to mingle there?
质本洁来还洁去,
Pure they come and pure shall go,
强于污淖陷渠沟.
Not sinking to oblivion below.
尔今死去侬收葬,
Now they are dead,I come to bury them today.
未卜侬身何日丧?
Who can divine the date when I shall pass away?
侬今葬花人笑痴,
Men laugh at my folly in burying fallen flowers.
他年葬侬知是谁?
But who will bury me when come my last hours?
试看春残花渐落,
See spring depart and flowers wither by and by.
便是红颜老死时.
This is the time when beauty must grow old and die.
一朝春尽红颜老,
Once spring is gone and beauty dead,alas!
花落人亡两不知!
Who will care for the fallen bloom and buried lass?
