双语 ● 身如一叶舟

TUNE: SONG OF DIVINATION

卜算子

My body is a leaflike boat,

身如一叶舟，

And like the tide all events flow.

万事从头起。

I let my boat on the rising tide float;

水长船高一任伊，

So on the waves I come and go.

来往洪涛里。

The tide may fall and rise again;

潮落又潮生，

As of old will things stop and start.

今古长如此。

Next time when I drink alone, the moon will not wane,

后夜开尊独酌时，

But we’re a thousand miles apart.

月满人千里。
