1. The Day of Mourning For the Dead
X.Y.Z
The day of mourning for the dead it's raining hard;
My heart is broken on my way to the graveyard.
Where can i find a wineshop to drown my sad hours?
A herdboy points to a cot amid apricot flowers.
2.Qingming Festival
任治稷,余正编译
Qingming season nonstop misty rain,
People look miserable along the way.
Tell me if there is a tavern around here,
Shepherd boy fingers Villa Apricot over there.
Footnote: The day of the Qingming Festival marking the fifth of the 24 Solar Terms, traditionally observed as a festive occasion for family reunion and paying homage to ancestral graves by sweeping and trimming the surroundings of the grave, a.k.a Grave Sweeping.
3.The Qingming Festival
陈君朴
On the Qingming Day, rain is falling uninterrepted,
And the wayfarer is more than ever broken-hearted;
"Is there any wine shop hereabouts?" A buffalo boy
Points to a distant village where apricots are spotted.
* The Qingming Festival: The Pure Brightness Day, which falls on April 5th every year and is the traditional day for the chinese people to pay homage to their ancestors' tombs.
4.All Souls' Day
文殊
The rain falls thick and fast on All Souls' festive day,
The men and women sadly move along the way.
They ask where wineshops can be found or where to rest_
And there the herdboy's fingers Almond-Town suggest.
5. In the Rainy Season of Spring
杨宪益
It drizzles endlessly dring the rainy season in spring,
Travellers along the road look gloomy and miseravle.
When I ask a shepherd boy where I can find a tavern,
He points at a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms.
还有很多,先不找了
