柳永·《诉衷情近·雨晴气爽》英译

雨晴气爽，

伫立江楼望处。

澄明远水生光，

重叠暮山耸翠。

遥认断桥幽径，

隐隐渔村，

向晚孤烟起。

残阳里。

脉脉朱阑静倚。

黯然情绪，

未饮先如醉。

愁无际。

暮云过了，

秋光老尽，

故人千里。

竟日空凝睇。

Telling Innermost Feeling

Liu Yong

The air is fresh on a fine day after the rain,

I stand in a riverside tower and gaze.

Afar the water stretches clear and bright,

Green hills on hills tower in the twilight.

I find the broken bridge and quiet lane

In fisher’s village veiled in haze,

At dusk I see lonely smoke rise.

Seeing the sun sink,

Silent I lean on railings red,

With sorrow fed,

I’m drunk before I drink.

Boundless is my grief cold,

Evening clouds pass before my eyes.

Autumn turns cold.

My friends stay miles away;

In vain I gaze all the long day.
