白翎雀歌

[元]虞集

乌桓[1]城下白翎雀[2]，

雌雄相呼以为乐。

平沙无树托[3]营巢，

八月雪深黄草薄。

君不见旧时飞燕在昭阳[4]，

沉沉宫殿锁鸳鸯。

芙蓉露冷秋宵永[5]，

芍药风暄[6]春昼长。

注释：

[1]乌桓：古时北方少数民族名。

[2]白翎雀：白色羽毛的雁雀。

[3]托：筑造。

[4]昭阳：泛指后妃居住的宫殿。

[5]永：无穷尽，时间长。

[6]暄：温暖。

Song of White-plumed Skylarks

Yu Ji

The white-plumed skylarks’ neath Mongolian city wall,

Male and female, delight in hearing mutual call.

In desert there’s no tree for them to build their nest;

’Mid withered grass beneath eighth moon’s deep snow they rest.

Have you not seen

The Flying Swallow[1] in Sunny Palace of yore

And many love-birds locked up within somber door?

They heard dew drip on lotus each cold autumn night

And saw the breeze caress peonies in spring bright.

注释：

[1]The Flying Swallow was the favorite mistress of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty in the first century BC.
