杭州翻譯公司之鵲踏枝翻譯

鵲踏枝

無名氏

叵耐靈鵲多謾語，

送喜何曾有憑據？

幾度飛來活捉取，

鎖上金籠休共語。
比擬好心來送喜，

誰知鎖我在金籠里。

欲他征夫早歸來，

騰身卻放我向青云里。

Tune: “The Magpie on a Branch”

Anonymous

How can I bear to hear the chattering magpie

Announce the happy news on which I can’t rely?

So thus I catch it alive when it flies to me again

And shut it in a cage where lonely ‘twill remain.

With good intent I brought her a happy message.

Who would expect she’d shut me in a golden cage?

I wish her husband would come back soon so that I might be set free and take my flight to the blue sky.
