李商隐《锦瑟》英译

锦瑟｜李商隐

锦瑟无端五十弦，
一弦一柱思华年。

庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶，
望帝春心托杜鹃。

沧海月明珠有泪，
蓝田日暖玉生烟。

此情可待成追忆？
只是当时已惘然。

The Jingse (Zither)

By Li Shangyin

For no reason that the Jingse has strings in fifty
Each string and peg, a recall of young glorious past

Zhuangzi were a butterfly in his morning dream
King Wang, a cuckoo bird on his spring heart

The moon shines over the green sea, a pearl in tears
The sun warms up the blue field, a jade in mist

Those and more are recollected now and here
Though things and feelings got lost then and there

(English translation by Li Fukang)
