张炎·《摸鱼子·高爱山隐居》英译

爱吾庐、傍湖千顷，

苍茫一片清润。

晴岚暖翠融融处，

花影倒窥天镜。

沙浦迥。

看野水涵波，

隔柳横孤艇。

眠鸥未醒。

甚占得莼乡，

都无人见，

斜照起春暝。

还重省。

岂料山中秦晋。

桃源今度难认。

林间即是长生路，

一笑元非捷径。

深更静。

待散以吹箫，

跨鹤天风冷。

凭高露饮。

正碧落尘空，

光摇半壁，

月在万松顶。

Groping for Fish

Hermitage in Mount High Love

Zhang Yan

I love my cot by the lakeside

So fair and wide,

A vast expanse so vague and clear.

On fine days the far-flung hills warm appear,

With flowers reflected in the mirror of the skies.

The sand beach far away, I seem

To see the rippling water beam,

Under the willow trees a lonely boat lies.

The gulls asleep, not yet awake,

Unseen in my native village by the lake.

The setting sun would bring Twilight to spring.

I meditate:

Who can anticipate

Even Peach Blossom Land

Will witness dynasties fall or stand?

The pathway in the woods will lead to a long life.

I laugh, for it is not a shortcut to win in strife.

It’s calm when deep is night,

I would play on my flute with loosened hair

And ride my crane to brave the cold wind in my flight.

I would drink dew on high

And waft in the air.

The moon atop the pines sheds its light

Over the conquered land far and nigh.
