帕布莉卡杕[1]杜
有杕之杜[2]，
其叶湑湑[3]。
独行踽踽[4]，
岂无他人？
不如我同父[5]。
嗟行之人，
胡不比[6]焉？
人无兄弟，
胡不佽[7]焉？
有杕之杜，
其叶菁菁。
独行睘睘[8]，
岂无他人？
不如我同姓。
嗟行之人，
胡不比焉？
人无兄弟，
胡不佽焉？
孤独的赤棠，
叶子繁茂。
孤独地行走，
难道没有别人？
不像我同族的兄弟亲。
独行叹息的人，
为什么没有人做伴？
人要是没有兄弟，
谁与他同甘共苦？

A Wanderer[1]
A tree of russet pear
Has leaves so thickly grown.
Alone I wander there
With no friends of my own.
Is there no one
Who would of me take care?
But there is none
Like my own father’s son.
O wanderer, why are there few
To sympathize with you?
Can you not find another
To help you like a brother?
A tree of russet pear
Has leaves so lushly grown.
Alone I loiter there
Without a kinsman of my own.
Is there no one
Who would take care of me?
But there is none
Like my own family.
O loiterer, why are there few
To sympathize with you?
Can you not find another
To help you like a brother?
[1]This was the lament of a beggar deprived of his brothers and relatives or forsaken by them.
