雙語 ●盡日憑欄樓上望

長憶西湖，

盡日憑欄樓上望。

三三兩兩釣魚舟，

島嶼正清秋。

笛聲依約蘆花里，

白鳥成行忽驚起。

別來閑整釣魚竿，

思入水云寒。

TUNE: FOUNTAIN OF WINE

I still remember West Lake,

Where, leaning on the rails, I gazed without a break

On fishing boats in twos and threes

And islets in clear autumn breeze.

Among flowering reeds faint flute-songs rose,

Startled white birds took flight in rows.

Since I left, I’ve repaired my fishing rod at leisure,

Thoughts of waves and clouds thrill me with pleasure.
