詩詞英譯: 竹枝詞二首（唐）劉禹錫

Two Bamboo Poems
by Liu Yuxi of Tang Dynasty

山桃紅花滿上頭，蜀江春水拍山流。花紅易衰似郎意，水流無限似儂愁。

Red peach blossoms grow all over the mountain top;
Spring water in Shu River flows down, lapping hillsides.
The blossoms in red wither easily like the love of my boy;
The water flows without an end like my sorrow.

楊柳青青江水平，聞郎江上踏歌聲。東邊日出西邊雨，道是無晴卻有晴。

The willow is green and the river water is smooth;
I hear my boy singing and tramping by the river.
There』s sunshine at east side and rain at west side.
If say it』s fine, it』s not fine.
