赵孟頫 ·《岳鄂王墓》英译

鄂王坟上草离离，秋日荒凉石兽危。 　　

南渡君臣轻社稷，中原父老望旌旗。 　　

英雄已死嗟何及，天下中分遂不支。 　　

莫向西湖歌此曲，水光山色不胜悲。

At King E’s Tomb

Zhao Mengfu

 

Grass grows thick

All across

King E’s tomb.

These autumn days

The fields are desolate.

Stone animals

Stand tall,

Alone.

But lords and ministers

In their Southern exile

Drank and danced

Indifferent to the fate of their country.

How the North

Worshiped the Emperor’s flag,

Day and night!

The hero is dead:

Sighing won’t bring him back.

And the country collapsed.

Enough: this is the wrong place to sing this song.

Just seeing the West Lake

Draws out my tears.
