雙語 ● 江頭又見新秋

TUNE: THE MOON OVER MELON ISLET

月上瓜洲

WRITTEN AT VARIOUS-VIEWED TOWED

南徐多景樓作

How much grief to see the autumn wind blows

江頭又見新秋，

By the riverside again!

幾多愁？

Frontier grass skyward grows.

塞草連天，

Where’s the lost Central Plain?

何處是神州？

Our heroes’ tear on tear,

英雄恨，

Though shed from year to year,

古今淚，

With the eastward-going river flows.

水東流。

Only the moonshine

With my fishing line

唯有漁竿明月，

On Melon Islet goes.

上瓜洲。
