刘克庄·《玉楼春·年年跃马》英译

年年跃马长安市，

客舍似家家似寄。

青钱换酒日无何，

红烛呼庐宵不寐。

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

易挑锦妇机中字。

难得玉人心下事。

男儿西北有神州，

莫滴水西桥畔泪。

Yulouchun

Liu Kezhuang

For some years, on horseback through Changan you roam;

Live in some hotel rather than stay at home.

Idle the whole day, you spend money on drinks.

Gaming, you care not, at night, for forty winks.

After all, your wife has true love on her part,

‘Tis difficult to gauge beauty’s inner heart.

The North-west as part of China is at stake,

Why waste the finest emotion as a rake?
