塞鸿秋
山行警
无名氏
东边路,西边路,南边路。
五里铺[1],七里铺,十里铺。
行一步,盼一步,懒一步。
霎时间天也暮,
日也暮,云也暮。
斜阳满地铺,
回首生烟雾。
兀的[2]不山无数,
水无数,情无数。
注释:
[1]铺:宋代称邮递驿站为铺,被元代沿用。
[2]兀的:语气助词,反诘语,起加强语气的作用。
Tune: Autumn Swan on Frontier
On My Way in the Mountain
Anonymous
On eastern way, on western way, on southern way,
Five miles away, seven miles away, ten miles away.
I go slow-paced, I stop slow-paced, I look slow-paced.
Suddenly the sky is effaced,
The sun effaced, the clouds effaced.
The earth is paved with departing sunbeams;
Turning my head, I find mist grow as dreams.
Does mist not veil the countless hills and rills?
Does it not veil my heart which untold sorrow fills?
