李煜·《浪淘沙·往事只堪哀》英译

往事只堪哀，
对景难排。
秋风庭院藓侵阶。
一任珠帘闲不卷，
终日谁来？

金锁已沉埋，
壮气蒿莱。
晚凉天净月华开。
相得玉楼瑶殿影，
空照秦淮。

Tune: "Ripples Sifting Sand"

It saddens me to think of days gone by,
With old familiar scenes in my mind's eye.
The autumn wind is blowing hard
O'er moss-grown steps in deep courtyard.
Let beaded screen hang idly unrolled at the door.
Who will come any more?

Sunk and buried my golden armour lies;
Amid o'ergrowing weeds my vigour dies.
The blooming moon is rising in the evening sky.
The palaces of jade
With marble balustrade
Are reflected in vain on the River Qinhuai.
