康与之·《诉衷情令·长安怀古》英译

阿房废址汉荒丘，

狐兔又群游。

豪华尽成春梦，

留下古今愁。

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

君莫上，

古原头，

泪难收。

夕阳西下，

塞雁南飞，

渭水东流。

Telling Innermost Feeling

The Ancient Capital Recalled

Kang Yuzhi

Where ancient palaces stood, now ruins stand;

Foxes and hares in throng haunt the waste land.

Past splendor turns into dreams of spring,

Leaving old grief for the modern to sing.

Don’t mount the Merry-Making Plain!

From shedding tears can your refrain?

Down in the western sky

The setting sun goes;

Southward the wild geese fly,

But eastward River Wei still flows.
