Emperor Li Yu
A clear-looking man far-off
On a slim autumn day of 977
Did not sleep overnight
Loaded with alcohols and expressions
He floated his shamed tears of loyalty in the lake
The liitle boat in dream like a faded ballad
He was thinking of the wasted days
The indebted smokes
The trauma of love lost
And a conquered country
Oh, Emperor
Rainy dusk, shady woods
And sunset above the palace
The railings you touched
Had turned into details of a poem or pearls
With a sword you were cutting alcohols, cutting sleeves
With lights through your window
You kindled winds in the bamboo, a scholar’s ambition
And a coquettish witch
Late spring, 1986

李后主
遥远的清朗的男子
在977年一个细瘦的秋天
装满表达和酒
彻夜难眠、内疚
忠贞的泪水在湖面漂流
梦中的小船像一首旧曲
思念挥霍的岁月
负债的烟
失去的爱情的创伤
一个国家的沦落
哦，后主
林阴雨昏、落日楼头
你摸过的栏杆
已变成一首诗的细节或珍珠
你用刀割着酒、割着衣袖
还用小窗的灯火
吹燃竹林的风、书生的抱负
同时也吹燃了一个风流的女巫
