南边刮来一阵风

We translated "路边歌" into English as "Song of the Roadside".


[转载] 路 边 歌
* 叫 花 子 *

 南边刮来一阵风    wind blowing from the south
 卷我篮里两颗葱    displaced two onions in basket
 拾葱俯腰背如弓    i bend my back to pick them up
 一个小卒卧葱中    found a little Pawn among green
 拾卒借问弈者谁    where are people playing Xiangqi?
 两个老翁坐如钟    two old men sitting upright
 童颜鹤发目如炬    they looked young with bright eyes
 棋子滑落浑不惊    no falling pieces can disturb them
 趋前定目把局看    i approached them and watched
 中局扭杀对决中    in the midst of a middle game
 藤绕树来树扭藤    locked into one another in struggle
 盘根错节把枝生    with diverted attacks and defences
 炮于卒底藏玄秘    Cannon behind the Pawn with secrets
 马跃河头露狰容    Horse in the River in full strength
 车横九宫如虎踞    Rook crossed the Palaces in bold steps
 士扬犄角护昆仲    Guard building cornerstone of defence
 观者如堵言欲沸    spectators crowded but kept silence
 二翁心平地自宁    two old men are calm and all peaceful
 一翁车奔石迸裂    one's Rook rushed out shook the ground
 一翁马纵刀枪鸣    the other's Knight swung the sword
 老骥雄心孰可比    they are brave and courageous unmatched
 廉颇子才与黄忠    like ancient Lian Po and Huang Zhong
 大浪淘沙光阴迫    the best will come but time is short
 街灯旖旎和局成    street light is soft and game is drawn
 厮杀一日终有果    a day of battle produced the result
 二翁含笑共推枰    two old men smiled and folded chessboard
 投机阔论家常事    chatted very friendly about usual things
 趋步并肩意兴浓    they walked together in good spirit
 夕照华美壮颜色    sunset casting beautiful colours around
 步履从容增雅情    in leisurely steps and nothing worry
 桃花源里无魏晋    all sisters and brothers in taohua garden
 卧牛城中有是翁    woniu city will find such wise elderly
 国昌民裕春色好    prosperity brings happiness and good time
 燕赵大地尽尧风    everywhere life is as good as golden era
