薛涛·《听僧吹芦管》英译

晓蝉鸣咽暮莺愁，言语殷勤十指头。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

罢阅梵书劳一弄，散随金磬泥清秋。

Listening to a Monk Playing the Reed Flute   

Xue Tao

Dawn’s sobbing cicadas or sad orioles at night

Such earnest speech is of ten digits born.

Just play when you have read the Sanskrit tome:

It will join gold bells to mix with autumn.¹

1. “Gold bells” refers to the handheld recitation bells used by Buddhist or Daoist priests.
