关汉卿·《大德歌·冬·吹一个》英译

吹一个，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

弹一个，

唱新行大德歌。

快活休张罗，

想人生能几何？

十分淡薄随缘过，

得磨陀处且磨陀。

Winter

to the tune of Great Virtue

Guan Hanqing

Toot a piece of music.

Strum a piece of music.

Let’s sing a song of Great Virtue in a fashion,
Busy you not, enjoy and satisfy your passion.

How life is short, you know,

Be simple, plain, and stay wherever you can go.

Idle away time and don’t mind it’s quick or slow.
