論詩三十首（七）金 – 元好問

 

慷慨歌謠絕不傳，穹廬一曲本天然。

中州萬古英雄氣，也到陰山敕勒川。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

The old gallant ballad hath lost its heir,

But not, neath yurts, the nature-stirred steppe air.

The Central Plains’ ancient heroic breath

Athwart sweeps Chi’le, Yinshan with its flair.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
