雙語 ● 千里斷鴻供遠目

TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

浣溪沙

ON THE TOWER AFTER THE MOUNTAIN-CLIMBING DAY

重陽后一日極目亭

After a fine rain it was growing cold last night;

小雨初回昨夜涼，

Chrysanthemums hasten to yellow by fenceside.

繞籬新菊已催黃。

The west wind sweeps the boundless blue sky far and wide.

碧空無際卷蒼茫。

Wild geese flying far, far away are lost to sight;

千里斷鴻供遠目，

The sweet green grass unseen for ten years grieves my heart.

十年芳草掛愁腸。

Slowly I sing and with a cup of wine I part.

緩歌聊與送瑤觴。
