帕布莉卡一枝花
关汉卿
（一）不伏老
攀出墙朵朵花，
折临路枝枝柳。
花攀红蕊嫩，
柳折翠条柔[1]。
浪子风流。
凭着我攀花折柳手，
直熬得[2]花残柳败休。
半生来折柳攀花，
一世里眠花卧柳。
注释：
[1]攀出墙朵朵花，折临路枝枝柳。花攀红蕊嫩，柳折翠条柔：都是攀花折柳的意思，指在风月场中的风流生活。出墙花，指妓女。语出叶绍翁《游园不值》：“春色满园关不住，一支红杏出墙来。”原无此意，但被后人借用。临路柳，也是指妓女。语出敦煌曲子词《望江南》：“我是曲江临池柳，这人折了那人攀；恩爱一时间。”
[2]直熬得：一直弄到。
Tune: A Sprig of Flowers
Guan Hanqing
（I）Don’t Say I’m Old
I pluck flower on flower over the wall,
And break off branch on branch of willow tree.
The red pistil of the flower is tender;
The green twigs of the willow are slender.
A gallant like me
Will gather flowers and break off branches till I see
Withered leaves and flowers fall.
I have been picking them half my life;
I’ll love and sleep with them as with a wife.
（二）梁州
我是个普天下郎君[1]领袖，
盖世界浪子班头[2]。
愿朱颜[3]不改常依旧，
花中消遣，
酒内忘忧；
分茶攧竹[4]，
打马藏阄[5]。
通五音六律滑熟[6]，
甚闲愁到我心头？
伴的是银筝女[7]银台前理银筝笑倚银屏[8]；
伴的是玉天仙[9]携玉手并玉肩同登玉楼；
伴的是金钗客歌金缕[10]捧金樽满泛金瓯。
你道我老也暂休。
占排场[11]风月功名首，
更玲珑又剔透[12]。
我是个锦阵花营都帅头[13]，
曾玩府游州[14]。

（II）Tune: The Frontier
I am the leading gallant under the sky,
And the most dissolute lover on earth.
I wish no face should lose its rosy dye.
I’d lead among flowers a life of mirth,
And drown my sorrow in wine;
I’d drink tea, and bet with bamboos,
Gamble on horse-race and in lottery.
There is no music but I can play a part.
How could sorrow come into my heart?
Who is in my company
But the lutist leaning on silver screen
And playing on silver lute in silver bower;
Hand in hand and side by side, the fairy queen
Going up with me to the jade tower;
The songstress adorned with golden hairpin,
Golden cup in hand, singing of golden dress and flower.
You say I’m old and should retire,
But in gallantry I’m going up higher and higher.
Growing more clever for ever and ever,
I’m winner in the camp of flowers,
Loafing from place to place, in golden bowers.
（三）隔尾
子弟每是个茅草岗
沙土窝初生的兔羔儿
乍向围场[1]上走。
我是个经笼罩受索网
苍翎毛老野鸡
蹅踏[2]的阵马儿[3]熟。
经了些窝弓冷箭蜡枪头[4]，
不曾落人后。
恰不道[5]“人到中年万事休”，
我怎肯虚度了春秋？

（III）Tune: The Interlude
The young gallants are new-born bucks in chase of bunny,
Coming out of the burrows in the mound,
And running for the first time on hunting ground.
I’m an old pheasant with feather grey,
Having escaped from traps and nets on the way,
And running like a steed
At fullest speed.
Nearly hit by spearheads and arrows from hidden bows,
Now I’ve reached middle age and known so many things,
How could I waste more autumns and springs?
（四）尾
我是个蒸不烂煮不熟
捶不匾[1]炒不爆
响珰珰一粒铜豌豆[2]。
恁子弟每谁教你钻入他
锄不断砍不下
解不开顿不脱
慢腾腾千层锦套头[3]？
我玩的是梁园月[4]，
饮的是东京[5]酒，
赏的是洛阳花[6]，
攀的是章台柳[7]。
我也会吟诗，
会篆籀，
会弹丝。
会品竹，
我也会唱鹧鸪，
舞垂手，
会打围[8]，
会蹴鞠[9]，
会围棋，
会双陆。
你便是落了我牙，
歪了我口，
瘸了我腿，
折了我手，
天赐与我
这几般儿歹症候[10]，
尚兀自[11]不肯休。
则除是[12]阎王亲自唤，
神鬼自来勾[13]，
三魂归地府，
七魄丧冥幽[14]，
天哪，那其间[15]
才不向烟花路上走。

（VI）Tune: Epilogue
I’m a resounding copper pea
Which could not be
Hammered out, cooked, fried or stewed.
How can you young gallants penetrate into me
Like a manifold harness which cannot be
Hoed up or cut down,
Slowly rid of or quickly hewed?
I have enjoyed in royal garden the moonshine,
In the east capital good wine,
And peony flowers in the west,
And plucked a twig from my lover’s breast.
I’m good at poetry
And at calligraphy;
I can play on the string
And draw a picture of bamboo,
I can also sing
The songs of partridge too.
With hands hanging down I can dance,
In hunting I can advance,
I know how to play football and chess,
And I gamble by chance.
You may knock my teeth down
Or my mouth wry,
Even if you break
My leg and hand,
Though disabled am I,
Still firm I’ll stand,
Unless
The Satanic Majesty
Or the demons come to summon me.
Even one-third of my soul goes to the hell
And two-thirds sink into the infernal well,
O Heaven, only then
Will I not go on the dark willowy lane.
