羌村三首(其一) 杜甫

羌村三首(其一)    杜甫 (712-770)

崢嶸赤雲西，日腳下平地。
柴門鳥雀噪，歸客千里至。
妻孥怪我在，驚定還拭淚。
世亂遭飄蕩，生還偶然遂。
鄰人滿牆頭，感嘆亦歔欷。
夜闌更秉燭，相對如夢寐。

A Triplet on Qiang Village (My Home Village) (Poem No.1)    

Du Fu (712-770)

Red cloudscape on the west heaped up like monticules,

The sanguine setting sun disappeared under the horizontal,

Birds over my wicker door incessantly warbled,

Through thousands of miles I have finally arrived at my home household,

My sudden appearance to my wife and children came like a bolt,

Coming around they couldn’t stop their tears flow,

I’ve been drifting in these times of turmoil,

It’s purely fortuitous luck that I could still maintain my survival,

My neighbours crowded all over my house walls and incessantly bewailed,

Deep in the night my wife and I gazed at each other under the candle,

Suspecting this was only a dream cameo.
