哀 江 头
少 陵 野 老 吞 声 哭
春 日 潜 行 曲 江 曲。
江 头 宫 殿 锁 千 门
细 柳 新 蒲 为 谁 绿 ？
忆 昔 霓 旌 下 南 苑
苑 中 万 物 生 颜 色。
昭 阳 殿 里 第 一 人
同 辇 随 君 侍 君 侧。
辇 前 才 人 带 弓 箭
白 马 嚼 啮 黄 金 勒。
翻 身 向 天 仰 射 云
一 笑 正 坠 双 飞翼。
明 眸 皓 齿 今 何 在？
血 污 游 魂 归 不 得。
清 渭 东 流 剑 阁 深
去 住 彼 此 无 消 息。
人 生 有 情 泪 沾 臆
江 水 江 花 岂 终 极？
黄 昏 胡 骑 尘 满 城
欲 往 城 南 望 城 北。

Headwaters of the Chu River Melancholy
With a loss of reputation, in the hinterlands my soft sounds of crying
Spring days, travel under cover following the zig-zags of the Qu River.
At river headwaters, palace halls abandoned with a thousand locked doors
Exquisite willows and fresh cattails have been made green for whom?
Recall former days, the imperial rainbow banners below the
southern orchards
In the middle of their gardens were thousands of colorful things.
Inside the Sun Palace, the Han emperor had his number one and
favorite concubine.
In the same imperial carriage they leaned against each other.
In front of the imperial carriage the female attendants carry belts of
bows and arrows
The white horses have halters of golden straps.
These ladies look towards the sky and into the clouds
With one smile, a pair of flying birds quickly brought to the ground.
Where are these bright and white teeth now?
Killed by the palace guard, her soul escaped, never to return.
Clear Wei River flows to the east, his Jian Pavilion deep and hidden
Residing apart, both disappear without a breath, or a trace.
Human experience has emotional teardrops that moistens the chest
In the end don’t river waters and flowers live on?
At sunset, barbarian horses fill the city with their dust and dirt
See into the future, hope to go towards southern city walls.
Notes:
Chu River: Anhui Province
Wei River: Major tributary to the Yellow River near Chang’an (Xi’an).
