李憑箜篌引
吳絲蜀桐張高秋，
空白凝雲頹不流。
江娥啼竹素女愁，
李憑中國彈箜篌。
崑山玉碎鳳凰叫，
芙蓉泣露香蘭笑。
十二門前融冷光，
二十三絲動紫皇。
女媧煉石補天處，
石破天驚逗秋雨。
夢入坤山教神嫗，
老魚跳波瘦蛟舞。
吳質不眠倚桂樹，
露腳斜飛溼寒兔。
譯文
The Southern strings on Western chest played in autumn high,
The congealed clouds over empty mountains will not fly.
The lutists after the king's death would weep to hear
Li Ping playing his twenty-three strings and feel drear.
Broken jade or dew-shedding lotus is not more sad;
Nor is phoenix' song or sweet orchid's smile more glad.
Before the Twelve Gates melts away cold light aglow;
His twenty-three strings move emperors high and low.
The Goddess forgets to mend the sky with might and main;
The stones fall down from on high like torrential rain.
Celestial lutists wake from dreams in mountains deep;
Slender dragons dance and old fish on the waves leap.
The sleepless woodcutter leans on the laurel tree;
The rabbit wet and cold with dew crouches with glee.
