Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo
Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky. The golden willows by the riverside Are young brides in the setting sun; Their reflections on the shimmering waves Always linger in the depth of my heart. The floating heart growing in the sludge Sways leisurely under the water; In the gentle waves of Cambridge I would be a water plant! That pool under the shade of elm trees Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
If you would ask me how my sorrow
has increased,
Just see
the over-brimming river flowing east!
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
《虞美人》 问君能有几多愁, 恰似一江春水向东流。
——李煜
How long will the bright moon appear? Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky. I do not know what time of year, It would be tonight in the palace on high.
