（長恨歌）The Song of Everlasting Regret

云天2010

自乐君的美译, 欣赏了.  好身手!  :rose

跟在后面画瓢, 凑个热闹:

漢王重色思傾國，
御宇多年求不得．
楊家有女出長成，
養在深閨人未識．

The Tang Emperor lusted for a drop-dead beauty
He sought for years but struck no luck for a fitter
A maiden in Yang family just grew up to be so pretty
Yet known by few while reared  deep in her bower

青衫来客

译得很美，大赏！

自娱自乐

Well, very impressive! Good on you buddy!

自娱自乐

多谢青衫君的勉励!

自娱自乐

樓閣玲瓏五雲起，
其中綽約多仙子。
中有一人字太真，
雪膚花貌參差是。

Beautiful towers rose high in veil of five-colour-cloud,
Where there were so many gorgeous fairies in crowd.
And fortunately one of them, Taizhen was her name,
With belle's flowery face and snowy skin nearly the same.

自娱自乐

金闕西廂叩玉扃，
轉教小玉報雙成。
聞道漢家天子使，
九華帳裡夢魂驚；

Of the west bower in golden palace he knocked on the jade-door,
From Xiaoyu* to Shuangcheng* a message was sent to her floor.
As she was told an envoy of the Han emperor was asking for a call,
She was startled from her dream in the splendour canopy in her hall.

自娱自乐

攬衣推枕起徘徊，
珠箔銀屏迤邐開。
雲鬢半偏新睡覺，
花冠不整下堂來。

She pushed the pillows aside to grab her gown but dillydallied to arise,
Then her silver screens and pearl curtains shillyshallied to open and rise.   
As she just awoke, her cloud-like hairsyle was half-way askew;
Walking into the hall, her crown ornaments were all awry, too.

自娱自乐

風吹仙袂飄飄舉，
猶似霓裳羽衣舞。
玉容寂寞淚闌干，
梨花一枝春帶雨。

Her fairy sleeves were billowing in wind so elegant,
As if she was dancing her Rainbow and Feather Raiment.
Yet loneliness imprinted on her pretty face with tearstains,
Like a pear blossom was drenched in spring rains.

自娱自乐

含情凝睇謝君王，
一別音容兩渺茫。
昭陽殿裡恩愛絕，
蓬萊宮中日月長。

She thanked the emperor with affections in her eye,
Since parting, his voice and visage had never been nigh.
Their passionate love in Zhaoyang palace was long over,
Yet her life in Penglai temple would be forever and ever.

自娱自乐

回頭下望人寰處，
不見長安見塵霧。
唯將舊物表深情，
鈿合金釵寄將去。

She turned and gazed down at this human world,
Nothing like Changan in sight but mist and dust swirled.
To show her deep feelings she took out old gifts as a token,
And then a gold hairpin and an inlaid box were chosen.
