漢樂府----《孤兒行》

孤兒生，
孤子遇生，
命獨當(dāng)苦。

父母在時，
乘堅車，
駕駟馬。
父母已去，
兄嫂令我行賈。
南到九江，
東到齊與魯。
臘月來歸，
不敢自言苦；
頭多蟣虱，
面目多塵土。
大兄言辦飯，
大嫂言視馬。
上高堂，
行取殿下堂，
孤兒淚下如雨。

使我朝行汲，
暮得水來歸。
手為錯，
足下無菲。
愴愴履霜，
中多蒺藜；
拔斷蒺藜腸肉中，
愴欲悲。
淚下渫渫，
清涕累累。
冬無復(fù)襦，
夏無單衣。
居生不樂，
不如早去，
下從地下黃泉。

春氣動，
草萌芽；
三月蠶桑，
六月收瓜。
將是瓜車，
來到還家。
瓜車反覆，
助我者少，
啖瓜者多。
愿還我蒂，
兄與嫂嚴(yán)。
獨且急歸，
當(dāng)興校計。

亂曰：
里中一何譊譊，
愿欲寄尺書，
將與地下父母，
兄嫂難與久居！

Song of the Orphan

The orphan's lot
From his hapless birth
Is sorrow unending.

My parents living,
I roe in style,
Four horses to draw me,
My parents dead,
My own brother bid me—
And so did his wife—
Fare forth as a pedlar.
To Jiujiang southward,
To Qi and Lu eastward...
In the twelth moon returned
But my woes dared not voice.
Lice in my hair,
My skin grimed with dust.

My brother said: Cook for us!
His wife: Tend the beasts!
In and out of the hall
I fetched and I carried...
No wonder, poor orphan,
My tears flowed like rain.

At dawn fethcing water,
Not finished till dark;
Hands chapped end bleeding,
Feet all unshod
On the cruel boarfrost.
Thorns by the thousand
I plucked out: the smart
Remained in my flesh...

All anguish was I,
And salt tears welled forth,
Pearl after pearl.
Winter, no warm coat,
Summer, no shirt.
A joyless life!
Better follow the dead
To the underworld!

The spring awakened
And all grew green.
The third moon brought silkworms,
The sixth, came the gourds.
With a cartload of the melons
I was homeward bound.
When over it went.
How few came to help me,
But how many ate!

They might leave the stalks
For my tyrants to see!
Now I hasten back,
Thinking hard what to do...

In conclusion: What turmoil
Around, and for what?
I'd fain send a letter:
Dear, dead parents, oh!
I can bear it no longer.
I'll join you below!
