雙語 ● 燕去鴻歸音信絕

TUNE: TWELVE HOURS

十二時

Pale grass blends with clouds far and nigh,

連云衰草，

The setting sun reddens the sky;

連天晚照，

Red leaves cover the mountains high.

連山紅葉。

The western breeze

西風正搖落，

Strips off the trees;

更前溪嗚咽。

The creek once more

燕去鴻歸音信絕，

Sobs as before.

問黃花，

Swallows and wild geese bring no news to me.

又共誰折？

With whom may I enjoy chrysanthemums in glee?

征人最愁處，

What grieves most those who roam?

送寒衣時節(jié)。

No winter garments come from home.
