卜算子
李之儀
我住長江頭，
君住長江尾。
日日思君不見君，
共飲長江水。
此水幾時休?
此恨何時已?
只愿君心似我心，
定不負(fù)相思意。
A River-long Love
LiZhiyi
Ilive at the upper end of the river,
Andat the lower end live you;
Everyday I long to see you but cannot,
Thoughfrom the same river we drink.
Whenwill the river go dry?
Whencan my sorrow come to an end?
Onlymay your heart be like mine,
Mylove for you will not be in vain.
(初大告 譯)
Busuanzi
LiZhiyi
Ilive by the Yangzi River near its source,
Whileyou reside farthest down its course.
Youand I drink water out of the same stream.
Ihaven’t seen you, though daily of you I dream.
Whenwill this river water cease to run?
Whenshall I not love you, the way I do?
Ionly wish our two hearts would beat as one;
Youwouldn’t disappoint me in my love for you.
(徐忠杰 譯)
Song of Divination
LiZhiyi
Ilive upstream and you downstream.
Fromnight to night of you I dream.
Unlikethe stream you’re not in view,
Thoughwe both drink from River Blue.
Wherewill the water no more flow?
Whenwill my grief no longer grow?
Iwish your heart would be like mine,
Thennot in vain for you I pine.
(許淵沖 譯)
Key: Pu Suan Tzǔ

Idwell near the source of the Yangtze River,
Andyou are living by its estuary.
Althoughwe are drinking the same water,
Unableto see you, I yearn for you every day.
Whenwill this river stop rushing?
Whenshall my sorrow be all over?
“Bethy heart same as mine”, I’ll keep on wishing,
Then,verily, you’ll be my worthy lover.

Whileyou dwell at the end of its course.

To the Melody

Ilive in the Yangtze River’s original,
Youlive in the Yangtze River’s tail.

Whenmy lovesickness will be over?
Iwish your heart to be like my heart,
Iwill never live up you to be apart.

Pouring out My Heart
LiZhiyi
Ilive in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River,
Whileyou live in the lower reaches of the river.
Everyday I think of you,
ButI can’t see you, although we drink water of the same river.

Whenmy longing will end, you know?
Ionly wish your heart is as devoted as mine,
Thenyou will not be unworthy of my heart’s glow.

Ifonly your heart is like mine,

Ilive up the long, long river’s tail.
Andyou, by its mouth, so far away.
Thoughdaily I’m longing, no chance again with you to meet!
Yourdrinking as well as I from the selfsame river great.
Owhen will the waters cease to flow?
Andwhen will my languishing heart be consoled?
Ifonly your feelings were as warm as mine,
Repaymentfrom me you’d be sure to divine!

Staytrue to love’s bond.
