纳兰性德·《蝶恋花·又到绿杨曾折处》英译

又到绿杨曾折处， <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

不语垂鞭，

踏遍清秋路。

衰草连天无意绪，

雁声远向萧关去。

不恨天涯行役苦，

只恨西风，

吹梦成今古 。

明日客程还几许，

沾衣况是新寒雨。

Tune: “Butterflies in Love with Flowers”

Here where we parted and did break

Green poplar sprigs that each should take

For true love's sake,

—Wordless, riding-crop limp trailing,

Again those well-remembered ways

I tread, in the clear autumn rays;

Fronting a world of blear grass, feeling failing:

And far unto the Frontier Pass wild geese are wailing.

‘Tis not the bitterness of ever wending

On pilgrimage unending:

No, 'tis the West Wind's moaning makes me sorrow,

Which all our dreams must blow

Into the nothingness of evermore.

Yet farther, ever farther, on the morrow

The wanderer must go,
