When you are old, sunburned and sleepy,
Please write down this book when you take a nap by the fire.

Soft eyes, deep reflection in eyes;
How many people love your charming time,
The beauty of loving you comes from hypocrisy or truth,
But only one person loves the sincerity of your soul,
Love the biting wind and frost on your declining face;
Bend down, by the red fireplace,
Whispering sadly, how Cupid escaped,
Walking in the mountains overhead,
Hide his face among the stars.
Second Edition: When you are old, translated by Yuan Kejia.
When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,

Recall the heavy shadows of their past;
How many people love you when you are young and happy,
Worship your beauty, hypocrisy or sincerity,
Only one person loves your pilgrim soul,
Love the painful wrinkles on your aging face;
I hung my head, by the red fire,
Whispering sadly about the passing of love,
On the mountain overhead, it walked slowly.
A face is hidden among a group of stars.
Third Edition: Bing Xin Translation When you are old.
When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,
Tired of sitting by the fire, take down this book,
Reading slowly, dreaming of that year's eyes,
The soft eyes and the deep halo.
How many people loved your youth,
Love your beauty, hypocrisy or truth,
Only one person loves your pilgrim heart,
Love the scars of years on your sad face.
In front of the fireplace, you bend down,
Whispering, with shallow sadness,
How love dies, how to climb mountains,
How to hide your face among the stars?

When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,
Take a nap by the fire, take down this book,

Loving your beauty with true or false love,
But there is one person who loves your pilgrim soul,
Love the sadness on your aging face;
Bend down by the glowing fireplace,
Whispering a little sadly, how love dies.
Pacing on the mountains overhead
Hide his face among the stars.

When you are old and your hair is gray.
Sleepy and tired, sitting by the fire.

Extended data
Appreciation of When You Are Old: When the poet wrote this poem, the object he loved was in the prime of life, with a beautiful face and graceful charm. People often say, "Which girl is not good at love and which boy is not good at love." Throughout the ages, love always seems to be associated with youth and beauty.
When people are bathed in the glory of love, there is only the present in their minds, and there is always a hidden desire to refuse time, change and turn the moment into eternity. However, the poet is determined to travel far away just for sightseeing, thinking of a beautiful girl in her later years and imagining her white-haired and rickety body.
Telling a girl who is enjoying the fruits of youth about her twilight years is like telling a newborn child that he must die. This is cruel, but it is an irresistible natural law. The poet wrote this not only to tell her the "truth", but to express his love for her in this way.

Your eyes were once, and their shadows were deep; Your soft eyes and deep aura.
How many people love your happy moments, how many people love your short-lived figure,
Love your beauty with false or true love, love your beauty with false or true love,
But there is one person who loves your pilgrim soul. Only one person loved your pilgrim heart.
Love the sadness on your aging face; Love the scars of years on your sad face.
Bend down the glowing railing, bend down the drooping eyebrows,
Whispering, a little sad, how love escapes from meditation and muttering,
And packed up on the mountains overhead, how love passed away and how it set foot on the mountains,
Hide his face among the stars. How to hide your face among the stars?

When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,
Take a nap in front of the stove, please take down this poem.
Recite slowly and dream of your eyes.
Soft light and faint shadows;
How many people have loved your beauty with sincerity and hypocrisy,
Love your happy and charming youth,
Only one person loves your pilgrim heart,
Love the sadness on your aging face;
When you lean over the burning fireplace,
You will speak softly, with a hint of sadness,
The lost love is now going up the mountain,
Its face is hidden in a dense cluster of stars.
When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,
Take a nap by the fire, take down this book,
Reading slowly, dreaming of the gentle eyes.
Your eyes were once, and their shadows were deep;
How many people love your happy and elegant moments,
Loving your beauty with true or false love,
But there is one person who loves your pilgrim soul,
Love the sadness on your aging face;
Bend down by the glowing fireplace,
Whispering a little sadly, how love dies.
Pacing on the mountains overhead
Hide his face among the stars.

7. When you are old, Bing Xin is pale, sleepy and tired of sitting by the fireside. Take this poem for example.
Read carefully, dream back to soft light, and the past is deep and beautiful. I appreciate your beautiful image, many of which, really or not, have come and gone.
The only person who loves your Eucharist, despite the wind and frost, my love is not easy The fire is burning, and you lean over the stove and meditate in a low voice. Love died young.
I don't know if it is possible to be at the scene right away, but in my heart, and love is far away. [1] Old, with frosty hair; Alone with fire, weariness is shallow; Please take this roll, the man sings. Think back to that year, your flight; Ah, deep, looking at the time; Trick butterfly, sentient beings crazy.
He loves your appearance, not your heart; I am the only one who loves your heart; Know that your heart is holy and fragrant. Old, feel dejected; I am the only one, and my feelings are long.
Kneel by the fire and whisper. Love has flown over the mountains; Love has flown into the starlight.
