观沧海

【东汉】曹操

东临碣石，以观沧海。

水何澹澹，山岛竦峙。

树木丛生，百草丰茂。

秋风萧瑟，洪波涌起。

日月之行，若出其中；

星汉灿烂，若出其里。

幸甚至哉，歌以咏志。

The Blue Sea

By CAO Cao

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

On the East Hill I stand,

O’erlooking the blue sea.

The waters far expand;

The isle juts up like T.

The trees grow upon trees;

The grass sprawls on so lush.

Now soughs an autumn breeze

That spurs the waves to rush.

O Sun, o Moon, so light,

Have you risen from there?

O Milky Way, so bright,

Have you taken their glare?

How happy, o hurray!

I sing, sing up this lay.
