雙語 ● 中間多少行人淚

TUNE: BUDDHIST DANCERS

菩薩蠻

WRITTEN ON THE WALL OF ZAOKOU, JIANGXI

書江西造口壁

Below the Gloomy Terrace flow two rivers clear.

郁孤臺下清江水，

How many tears of refugees are swallowed here!

中間多少行人淚。

I gaze afar on land long lost in the northwest,

西北望長安，

Alas! I see but mountain crest on mountain crest.

可憐無數山。

Blue mountains can’t stop water flowing;

青山遮不住?

Eastward the river keeps on going.

畢竟東流去。

At dusk it makes me weep

江晚正愁予，

To hear partridges in mountains deep.

山深聞鷓鴣。
