唐诗三百首英译 李白：长相思之二

乐府

李白

长相思之二

日色已尽花含烟， 月明欲素愁不眠。

赵瑟初停凤凰柱， 蜀琴欲奏鸳鸯弦。

此曲有意无人传， 愿随春风寄燕然。

忆君迢迢隔青天， 昔日横波目，

今成流泪泉。

不信妾肠断， 归来看取明镜前。

Folk-song-styled-verse

Li Bai

ENDLESS YEARNING II

“The sun has set， and a mist is in the flowers；

And the moon grows very white and people sad and sleepless.

A Zhao harp has just been laid mute on its phoenix holder，

And a Shu lute begins to sound its mandarin-duck strings……

Since nobody can bear to you the burden of my song，

Would that it might follow the spring wind to Yanran Mountain.

I think of you far away， beyond the blue sky，

And my eyes that once were sparkling

Are now a well of tears.

……Oh， if ever you should doubt this aching of my heart，

Here in my bright mirror come back and look at me！”
