《山坡羊·晨雞初叫》是元代散曲家陳草庵的作品。此小令表達了作者感嘆世人為了功名利祿而奔波,最終都會化作煙塵一吹而散。勸阻人們放棄爭名奪利而卸甲歸田。也充分說明了作者對于回歸自然的美好向往。
《山坡羊·嘆世·晨雞初叫》 陳草庵
晨雞初叫,
昏鴉爭噪,
那個不去紅塵鬧?
路遙遙,
水迢迢,
功名盡在長安道。
今日少年明日老。
山,依舊好,
人,憔悴了。
Tune: Sheep on the Slope
O World
Chen Cao'an
At dawn cock crows,
At dusk caw crows.
Who to vanity fair is not eager to go?
Long long the way;
Far far the stream.
Only in the capital can you fullfil your dream.
Tomorrow old will grow the youth of today.
The hills are as green as before,
But the prime of youth is no more.
