雙語 ● 為賦新詞強(qiáng)說愁

TUNE: SONG OF UGLY SLAVE

丑奴兒

WRITTEN ON THE WALL ON MY WAY TO BOSHAN

書博山道中壁

While young, I knew no grief I could not bear;

少年不識愁滋味，

I’d like to go upstair.

愛上層樓。

I’d like to go upstair

愛上層樓，

To write new verses with a false despair.

為賦新詞強(qiáng)說愁。

I know what grief is now that I am old;

而今識盡愁滋味，

I would not have it told.

欲說還休。

I would not have it told,

欲說還休，

But only say I’m glad that autumn’s cold.

卻道天涼好個秋。
