Bai Juyi's everlasting regret song
A song of endless sadness
Bai Juyi
The emperor of China longed to shake the beauty of an empire.
After many years on the throne, I searched and never found it.
Until a child of Yang's family hardly grew up,
Growing up in the inner room, no one knew her,
But with God's undisguised grace,
Finally, one day he was elected as a member of the royal family.
If she just turned her head and laughed, there would be a hundred spells,
And the powder and paint of the six palaces have gradually vanished.
... it was early spring. They bathed her in a pure pool,
Warm and moisten her creamy skin,
Because she was tired, a maid lifted her up.
When the emperor first noticed her and chose her as his bride.
When she moves, the clouds of her hair, the petals of her cheeks, the golden ripples of her crown,
Covered by warm hibiscus curtains on spring nights;
But the nights in spring are short and the sun rises too fast.
From then on, the emperor gave up his early hearing.
Waste all his time on her feasts and revelry,
His lover in the spring, his tyrant in the night.
There are other ladies in his court, 3 thousand stunning beauties,
But his love for 3,000 people is concentrated on one person.
When she got dressed in her golden room, it was almost evening;
When the table in the jade tower is cleaned, she will wander around and drink wine slowly.
Her sisters and brothers were given titles;
Because she lit up and glorified her family,
She brought it to every father and mother in the whole empire,
Happiness when having a girl instead of a boy.
... rising from the Li Palace and entering the blue clouds,
The breeze wafts around with magical notes.
Soft songs and slow dances, strings and bamboo sounds.
The emperor couldn't keep his eyes on her enough-
Until the drums of Yuyang shook the earth.
Broke the tune of rainbow skirt and feather coat.
The Forbidden City, a nine-story palace, looms in the dust.
Thousands of chariots and horses from the southwest.
The flag of the empire opens the way, sometimes moving, sometimes stopping-
Thirty miles from the capital, outside the west gate,
The army stopped, and no one moved.
Until under their hooves, they may trample on those moths. ....
The flower hairpin fell to the ground and no one picked it up.
A green and white Hosta and a golden hairy bird.
The emperor could not save her, so he had to cover his face.
Later, when he looked back, the place of blood and tears
Hidden in a yellow dust blown by the cold wind.
... at the crack in the path of the dagger tower, they crossed a cloud line
Under Emei Mountain. The last few are here.
Flags and banners lost their color in the fading sun. ....
The water in Shu is always green and the mountains are always blue.
Your majesty's love is so eternal that it is deeper than the sky.
He gazed at the desolate moon from his temporary palace.
He heard the bell beating on his chest in the rain at dusk.
Heaven and earth last contact, dragon car home.
The emperor clung to this place and refused to leave.
From the soil around Maweipo, it was buried below.
That memory, that pain. Where is her white face?
Rulers and lords cry on their coats when their eyes meet.
When they ride horses, they loosen the reins and slowly return to the capital.
... pools, gardens, palaces, all the same as before,
Lotus in Taihu Lake, willow in Weiyang Palace;
But the petals are like her face, and the willow leaves are like her eyebrows-
Whenever he looks at them, what can he do but cry?
... peach trees and plum trees bloom in the spring wind;
After the autumn rain, the leaves fell to the ground;
The palaces in the west and south are littered with weeds,
The steps are full of red leaves that nobody cleans.
The players in her pear garden became white-haired
Eunuchs are thin in her yard of pepper trees;
Fireflies were flying on the throne, while he was meditating in the light.
He will stretch the wick to the end, but he still can't sleep.
Bells and drums will slowly ring the long night.
Before dawn, the Milky Way in the sky became clearer and clearer.
The porcelain mandarin ducks on the roof were thickened by morning frost.
His kingfisher blue cover feels more lonely and cold.
With the passage of distance, life and death year after year;
However, no beloved soul visited his dream.
... there lived a Taoist priest in Lingqiong, who was a guest in the sky.
Can summon the soul through his concentrated spirit.
People were moved by the emperor's persistent meditation.
They begged the Taoist priest to see if he could find her.
He blazed a trail in space and cut through the sky like lightning.
Up to heaven, down to the earth, looking everywhere.
Above, he looks for the green void, below, the yellow spring;
But he couldn't find what he wanted in two places.
Then he heard the story of a magical island on the sea.
Part of the invisible world,
There are pavilions in the five-color sky,
Exquisite immortals move back and forth,
One of them, they call it forever true-
What he is looking for is a face with snow and flowers like her.
So he went to the golden gate of the west hall and knocked on the door.
And asked a girl, the so-called small piece of jade, to tell double perfection.
This lady, hearing the news of the special envoy of Emperor China,
Woke up from a dream in her flowery canopy.
She pushed the pillow away, got dressed, shook her sleep,
Open the pearly lampshade, and then the silver screen.
Her muddy hair ornaments hung aside in a hurry,
When she came along the balcony, her flower hat came loose.
A breeze blew her cloak and fluttered with her movements.
As if she were dancing in a rainbow skirt and a feather coat.
Tears rolled down her sad white face.
Just like the spring rain falls on pear flowers.
But when she thanked him, her eyes shone with love.
Since they broke up, his body and voice have been strange to her.
Now that happiness has ended in the court of the bright sun,
Moon and dawn have been in Xianshan Palace for a long time.
But when she turned and looked down at the earth,
Trying to see the capital, only fog and dust.
So she excitedly took out the oath he had given.
Through his special envoy, he sent back a shell box and gold hairpin.
But a branch of the hairpin and one side of the box are kept,
Break the gold, break the box shell;
"Our souls belong to each other," she said, "just like this gold and this shell-
Somewhere, at some time, on earth or in heaven, we will definitely
She borrowed the messenger's mouth and gave him a word to remind him.
Oath only their hearts know:
"On the seventh day of July, at the Longevity Palace,
We secretly told each other in the silent midnight world.
We hope to fly in heaven, oh, a bird with wings,
Grow together on the earth, the branches of a tree. "
The earth endures, and the sky endures; One day, both will end,
And this endless sadness will last forever
The emperor of China, eager to shake the beauty of an empire, has been in office for many years, searching and never finding it.
Until a child of the Yang family grew up in the inner room, almost before she grew up, and no one knew her.
However, due to the gift of heaven and the undisguised grace, he was finally elected as a member of the royal family one day;
If she just turned her head and smiled, there were a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of six palaces disappeared without a trace.
It was early spring. They let her bathe in a pure pool to warm and smooth her creamy skin;
Because she was tired, a maid lifted her up, when the emperor noticed her for the first time and chose her as his bride.
On the night of spring, the warm hibiscus curtains covered her hair clouds when she fluttered, the petals on her cheeks and the golden ripples on her crown;
But the night in spring is short and the sun rises too fast. Since then, the emperor has given up his early hearing.
He wastes all his time on parties and revelry. He is the lover of spring and the tyrant of night.
There are other ladies in his court, 3,000 of whom are stunning beauties, but his love for 3,000 is concentrated on one person.
When she gets dressed in her golden room, it will be almost evening. When the table in the jade tower is cleaned, she will hang around and drink slowly.
Her sisters and brothers were all given titles because she lit up and glorified her family so much;
When a girl is born instead of a boy, she brings happiness to every father and mother in the empire.
... high rose plum palace, into the blue clouds, far and wide breeze with magical notes;
Soft songs and slow dances, strings and bamboo music, the emperor's eyes will never stare at her.
Until the sound of drums came from Yuyang, which shook the earth and broke the tune of rainbow skirts and feather clothes.
The Forbidden City, a nine-story palace, is hidden in the dust and travels southwest from thousands of chariots and horses.
The imperial flag opened the way, suddenly moving and stopping, 30 miles from the capital and passing the west gate.
People in the army stop, and no one will move until under their hooves, and they may trample on those moths.
The gorgeous hairpin fell to the ground, and no one picked it up, a green and white Hosta and a golden hairy bird.
The emperor couldn't save her, so he had to cover his face. Later, when he turned to look, there was blood and tears.
Hidden in the yellow dust blown by the cold wind, they crossed a cloud line at the crack in the path of the dagger tower.
Under Emei Mountain. The last few came, and the flags and banners lost their colors in the fading sun.
But the water in Shu is always green and the mountains are always blue, so your majesty's love is constant and deeper than the sky.
He stared at the desolate moon from his temporary palace, and he heard the rain at dusk, cutting his chest.
Heaven and earth in last contact, the dragon car comes home, and the emperor never leaves.
The memory and pain are buried in the soil of Maweipo. Where is her white face? .
Rulers and lords, when their eyes met, cried on their coats. They rode horses, loosened the reins and slowly returned to the capital.
Pond, garden, palace, everything is the same as before, Taiye Lake hibiscus, Weiyang Palace willow;
But the petals are like her face, and the willow leaves are like her eyebrows. Whenever he looks at them, what can he do but cry? ?
Peach and plum trees are in bloom. In the spring wind, after the autumn rain, the leaves fall to the ground.
The palaces in the west and south are scattered with evening grass, and the steps are piled with red leaves that are not swept.
The players in her pear garden became white-haired, and eunuchs were thin in her pepper yard. .
Fireflies were flying on the throne, and he was meditating in the twilight. , he will extend the wick to its end and still never fall asleep. ..
Bells and drums will slowly ring the long night, and before dawn, the Milky Way in the sky will become clear.
And the porcelain mandarin ducks on the roof grow thick morning cream, and the jade is cold. Who's with * * *?
The distance between life and death is year after year, but no beloved soul has visited his dream.
There lived a Taoist priest in Lingqiong. He was a guest in the sky and could summon the gods through his concentration.
People were moved by the emperor's constant meditation, and they begged the Taoist priest to see if he could find her.
He opened a road in space, like lightning, cut through the sky, up to heaven, down to the earth, looking around;
Above, he looked for the green void, below, the yellow spring, but he didn't find the one he was looking for in two places.
Then he heard a narrative about a magical island at sea, which is part of the invisible world;
There are pavilions in the five-color sky, and exquisite immortals walk back and forth.
And one of them, they call it forever true, has a face like her snow and flowers.
So he went to the golden gate of the West Hall, knocked on the Jasper Gate, and asked a girl named Small jade to tell Shuang Perfect.
This lady, after hearing the news of Emperor China's envoy, woke up from her dream in her canopy.
She pushed open the pillow, got dressed, shook off her sleepiness, opened the pearl curtain, and then opened the silver screen.
Because she left in such a hurry, her muddy hair ornaments hung aside, and when she came along the platform, her flowered hat was loose.
A breeze blew her cloak and fluttered with her movements, as if she were dancing with a rainbow skirt and feather coat;
Tears rolled down her sad and pale face, just like the spring rain on pear flowers.
But when she asked him to thank her monarch, her eyes shone with love. Since they separated, her form and voice were unfamiliar to her.
Because happiness ends in the courtyard of the sun, the moon and dawn become long in the palace of Xianshan.
But when she turned to look down at the earth and tried to see the capital, there was only fog and dust.
So she took out the keepsake he gave, and gave him a shell box and a gold hairpin through his messenger.
But one branch of the hairpin and one side of the box were kept, and the gold of the hairpin and the shell of the box were broken.
"Our souls belong to each other," she said, "just like this gold and this shell." Somewhere, at some time, on earth or in heaven, we will be together.
She sent him a message through his messenger, reminding him that only the hearts of the two of them knew the oath.
On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world.
We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one and grow on the earth, two branches of a tree. ..
The earth endures, and the sky endures; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever.
