叨叨令
道情
邓玉宾
一个空皮囊
包裹着千重气[1];
一个干骷髅
顶戴着十分罪[2]。
为儿女使尽些拖刀计[3],
为家私费尽些担山力。
你省[4]的也么哥,
你省的也么哥?
这一个长生道理何人会?
注释:
[1]千重气:古人认为人活一口气,气绝就是死去。
[2]顶戴着十分罪:经受了各种磨难。
[3]拖刀计:使人上当受骗的伎俩。
[4]省:醒悟。
Tune: Chattering Song
O World
Deng Yubin
Nothing but air
Is enveloped in your skin;
Your dry bones bear
Nothing but sin on sin.
For your children you may do right or wrong;
You’d shoulder mountains a fortune to win.
Do you understand my song?
Do you understand my song?
Do nothing silly if you want to live long!
