杜甫絕句漫興九首

其一

 

眼見客愁愁不醒，無賴春色到江亭。

即遣花開深造次，便教鶯語太丁寧。

 

Nine impromptu Quatrains by Du Fu

(I)

 

So sad, I cannot get rid of my drifter’s grief,

Springtide comes by Jiang Ting, alas, such a mischief,

Who sans empathy bids not only flowers blow,

But golden orioles warble restlessly as lief.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
