#1 [原创]宋词英译:鹤冲天 / 柳永
鹤冲天 柳永
黄金榜上,偶失龙头望。
明代暂遗贤,如何向?
未遂风云便,
争不恣狂荡?
何须论得丧。
才子词人,
自是白衣卿相。
烟花巷陌,依约丹青屏障。
幸有意中人,堪寻访。
且恁偎红翠,
风流事、平生畅。
青春都一饷。
忍把浮名,
换了浅斟低唱。
The Crane's Uplifting Rush
On the Gold list,
Accidently I lost the highest honor.
At this golden age, talents are unused,
where to go further?
Haven't got any good opportunity,
why not do something crazy?
No need to think of gain or loss.
With dignity, the talented Ci writer,
naturally is the Secretary of State in white.
Smoke and flowers on roadside
we are behind the screen inside.
The lucky thing is I can see someone I like.
Flowery gardens are where I patronize,
Love affairs, the whole life's entertainment.
All youth just stays for a moment.
Alas! I cruelly trade my fame alone
with small sips of wine and singing in a low tone!
