Four Lyrics Of Red Bean Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Four Lyrics of Red Bean

☆ Poetry by Wang Guowei (1877-1927, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


I.

In deep fall of southland can do nothing
Appreciate a few red beans in my hand
A string of them originally are heartless things
Who put the leisure sadness to him?

II.

Green trees outside door and boats outside wall of the city
Helpless life is parting sadness
Go out of my way to wish towards the east wind
到处人间作石尤
Everywhere in the world Shi You is

III.

At farewell water waves gleaming
Lean against the railing in vast. How is the yearning?
Even if plant them all south of the Yangtse River
I'm afraid that yearning will grow sturdily next spring

IV.

Ten thousands of them are round and exactly alike
Stealthily count them several thousand times but infatuated and untired
Remaining under the silver candle in the future time
Take them to talk about the yearning at night

◆ Chinese Text

★ 红豆词四首

☆ 王国维 诗


一

南国秋深可奈何
手持红豆几摩挲
累累本是无情物
谁把闲愁付与他

二

门外青骢郭外舟
人生无奈是离愁
不辞苦向东风祝
到处人间作石尤

三

别浦盈盈水又波
凭栏渺渺思如何？
纵教踏破江南种
只恐春来茁更多

四

匀圆万颗争相似
暗数千回不厌痴
留取他年银烛下
拈来细与话相思
