雙語 ● 霜風漸緊寒侵被

TUNE: SONG OF THE ROYAL STREET

御街行

Hard blows the frosty breeze;

霜風漸緊寒侵被，

In frozen quilt I hear

聽孤雁，

Sad cackles of wild geese,

聲嘹唳，

Cry on cry bringing grief on grief far and near.

一聲聲送一聲悲。

The clouds are pale; the azure sky like water clear.

云淡碧天如水。

I don my robe and tell the geese,

披衣起告：

“Stop for a while and listen please!

雁兒略住?

In little town south of the tower,

聽我些兒事。

Beyond the third bridge, by the western riverside,

塔兒南畔城兒里，

There stands a crimson-painted bower,

第三個橋兒外，

With pillar-like plane trees outside.

瀕河西岸小紅樓，

Please do not cry.

門外梧桐雕砌。

When you pass by,

請教且與，

Or my dear sleepless wife would sigh!”

低聲飛過，

那里有人人無寐。
