[八聲甘州] ...不忍登高臨遠，望故鄉渺邈，歸思難收。...

[八聲甘州]

　　對瀟瀟暮雨灑江天，一番洗清秋。漸霜風凄緊，關河冷落，殘照當樓。是處紅衰翠減，苒苒物華休。惟有長江水，無語東流。
　　不忍登高臨遠，望故鄉渺邈，歸思難收。嘆年來蹤跡，何事苦淹留？想佳人、妝樓凝望，誤幾回、天際識歸舟？爭知我、倚闌干處，正恁凝愁。

[To the Tune of Ba Sheng Gan Zhou]

　　　I face the pattering rain in the evening sky over the river.
　　　It refreshes the cool autumn at one sweep.
　　　Gradually the frosty wind grows colder and stronger,
　　　The landscape is cheerless and desolate,
　　　The sunset lights up the pavilion.
　　　All the red flowers and green leaves hav faded.
　　　Gradually the regaling views of nature die out.
　　　Only the waters of the Yangtze River
　　　Silently flow to the east.

　　　I cannot bear to climb high and look far,
　　　For when I gaze towards my hometown, too distant to see,
　　　It is hard to suppress my longing.
　　　Bemoaning my wanderings in recent years,
　　　Why am I stubborn and stay away so long?
　　　I see my beloved staring into the distance vainly seeking
　　　A homeward boat that carries me to her.
　　　How can she know that I am
　　　Leaning against the parapet engrossed in such sorrowful thoughts?
