白头吟

卓文君

皑如山上雪，皎如云间月[1]。

闻君有两意，故来相诀[2]绝。

今日斗[3]酒会，明旦沟水头；

躞蹀御沟上，沟水东西流[4]。

凄凄复凄凄，嫁娶不须啼；

愿得一心人，白头不相离。

竹竿何袅袅[5]，鱼尾何簁簁[6]。

男儿重意气，何用钱刀为！

注释：

[1] 皑、皎：白色。

[2] 诀：诀别。

[3] 斗：盛酒的器具。

[4] 躞蹀：行走的样子。御沟：流经御苑或环绕宫墙的沟。东西流：即东流。“东西”是偏义复词，这里偏用“东”字的意义。

[5] 竹竿：指钓竿。袅袅：动摇貌。

[6] 簁簁：形容鱼尾像濡湿的羽毛。在中国歌谣里钓鱼是男女求偶的象征隐语。这里用隐语表示男女相爱的幸福。

Song of the White Hair

Zhuo Wenjun

Our love like snow on mountains proud

Was bright like the moon ‘mid the cloud.

I’m told you’ll leave the old for new;

I come to say goodbye to you.

We drink a cup of wine today;

Tomorrow we’ll go each our way.

By royal moat we’ll walk and go

Like waters which east or west flow.

Why should I feel so sad and drear

And like a bride shed tear on tear?

If I’d wed one with single heart,

Even white-haired, we would not part.

Long, long may be your fishing lines,

You cannot catch fishtail which shines.

If your love were constant and true,

Why so much money to go through?
