鹧 鸪 天

秋 瑾 (1875-1907 年）

作于约 一九0 四年

祖国沉沦感不尽，闲来海外觅知音。
金瓯已缺总须补，为国牺牲敢惜身?
嗟险阻，叹飘零，关山万里作雄行。
休言女子非英物，夜夜龙泉壁上鸣。

【译文】

To the Tune: "Zhe Gu Tian"

东山 译

My agony knows no bounds witnessing my country crumbling,
I seized the time coming overseas to find friends of the same mind.
The golden bowl already broken demands mending,
I'll not hesitate to sacrifice my life for my motherland.

Oh, I know the obstacles and dangers,
Alas, far from the homeland I'm alone,
Still thousands of miles o'er passes and mountains I'll fight.
Do not say women are not heroic,
Hark, my Longquan sword on the wall is tinkling day and night.
