【英译】
It’s fine again right after a heavy rain.
A rainbow runs across the serene sky
And a breeze is passing through woods.
Mountains afar look clean and clear as if washed.
Grasses are brightly green everywhere.
Leisurely I walk up to a bridge and chant.
Overlooking from the bridge I spot
A couple of swallows whirling over the waters high and low.
It is a rare chance to enjoy this intoxicating beauty.
I’m reluctant to leave for home
Because a tender feeling touches my heart.
Then the sun is setting before I realize it.
Oh, where’s my homeland?
It’s thousands of miles away.
Oh, nay! It’s well in my dreamland.
It’s true I’m homesick.
And who else is sick too?
Shame, old folks of mine are few.
Now stop grieving at the youth,
That’s vanished like smoke in the wind. |
