鹧 鸪 天

秋 瑾
(1875-1907 年）

作于约 一九0四年

祖国沉沦感不尽，闲来海外觅知音。
金瓯已缺总须补，为国牺牲敢惜身?
嗟险阻，叹飘零，关山万里作雄行。
休言女子非英物，夜夜龙泉壁上鸣。

To the Tune: "Zhe Gu Tian"

东山 译

My agony knows no bounds to see my motherland crumbling,
I seized the day coming overseas to find friends of the same mind.
The golden bowl already broken demands mending,
I'll not hesitate to sacrifice my life for my country.

Alas, the obstacles and dangers far away from home alone,
I’ll bravely go over passes and mountains for thousands of miles.
Do not say women are not heroic enough,
Hark, my Longquan sword on the wall is tinkling day and night.
