关汉卿·《四块玉·闲适·意马收》英译

意马收，

心猿锁。

跳出红尘恶风波。

槐阴午梦谁惊破？

离了利名声，

钻入安乐窝，

闲快活。

Leisure

to the tune of Four Pieces of Jade

Guan Hanqing

Repressing my wish for fame,

Locking up my desire for game,

Out of this secular world I drop now,

To break those fond dreams I vow.

No longer in that vanity fair,

I worm into a cosy and peaceful nest with care.

Oh, this life of leisure is happy beyond compare.
