第6章 南歌子（1）

山溪，1950

飞沫银花屑，

寒光白刃锋，

劈开峻岭几多重，

万里云天尽在碧波中。

岁月无穷日，

清流自向东，

春来借得一帆风，

四海三江何处不相通？

注：

这是作者20岁生日时填的一首词，以湘西的山溪为题，抒情言志。

Tune: A Southern Song

—Mountain streams, 1950

Froth splashes into silver scraps,

The edged peak glistens in chilling light,

How many ridges has cleaved its might?

The sky infinite on high in waters emerald loses its height.

Time goes on in perpetuality,

Clear stream fl ows eastward in its own right,

Setting sail on a breezy day in spring bright,

How cometh the four seas and three rivers do not unite?

Note:

This ci-lyric was composed by the author on his 20th birthday, in which he describes the mountain streams in western Hunan to speak of his aspiration.
