[full poem]
Song of Ancient Acacia (Yuefu)
You are like a bright moon, I am like a fog, and the fog hides with the moon.
You play the piano well and I dance well, but at the end of the song, people are indifferent.
Just because I think, when I look back on you, I miss your dynasty and dusk.
The soul will never regret when it goes with you, and lovesickness is bitter for you.
Acacia bitter, with whom? I don't know where you are.
Help the door think of your instructions, climb high and see the end of the world.
13. I met you at the beginning of the year, making silk and bamboo in the royal palace.
Just because I think, when I look back on you, I miss your dynasty and dusk.
When I see you again, I will be fifteen years old and dance for you.
Alas, the years are like the morning dew, when will the mud nest in your house? "
Song of Ancient Acacia is a poetic work created in Han Dynasty. From Yuefu.
[translation]
My sweetheart is like the bright moon, and I am like the fog. The fog gradually disappeared with the moon, leaving only fog. My wife is good at playing the piano and I am good at dancing. Just play one song and the music will be over, leaving only the congestion in my heart. Just because my sweetheart looks back at me, I miss you day and night. My soul goes with you without regrets. This long lovesickness is for you. Who should I talk to about the pain of thinking? It's a long way. I don't know where you are. Touch the door frame, think of your words, leap high and look to the end of the world.
The last two sentences are about the heroine holding the door, looking for the return of the king, looking at the horizon, saying that she is climbing a tall building, watching the winding road stretch into the distance, and her eyes are blocked by the horizon, which is expected to wear autumn water.
