曾瑞·《山坡羊·嘆世（二）》

榮華休傲，

貧窮休笑，

循環(huán)世態(tài)多顛倒。

恰春朝，

早秋宵，

花開(kāi)花謝都知道。

今歲孟春花更早。

花，

依舊好。

人，

空謾老。

Lamenting the Times (2)

to the tune of Sheep on the Hillside

Ceng Rui

Proud of yourself not when you have wealth and rank,

Laugh not at those on whom the fate plays a prank.

The wheel of fortune keeps rotating,

A morning in spring

Suddenly turns itself into an autumn night.

It is known to all: flowers bloom and fade.

This year’s spring flowers offer an early sight,

They are as beautiful as made

They were;

But I, I am older made

Than I was fair.
