又寄升庵[1]
[明]黄峨
懒把音书[2]寄日边,
别离经岁又经年[3]。
郎君自是无归计,
何处青山不杜鹃。
注释:
[1]升庵:杨慎的号。
[2]音书:音讯,书信。
[3]经年:经过一年。
To My Husband
Huang E[1]
I’m tired of sending letters to far-off frontier;
So long have we been separated from year to year.
My beloved cannot come home with his longing eyes;
Where on green mountains do we not hear cuckoo’s cries[2]!
注释:
[1]Huang E was the wife of Yang Shen.
[2]The cuckoo seems to cry in Chinese, “Better go home!”
