雙語 ●郁郁蔥蔥佳氣浮

TUNE: SONG OF A SOUTHERN COUNTRY

The capital’s been ruled by kings since days gone by.

The rich green and lush gloom breathe a majestic sigh.

Like dreams has passed the reign of four hundred long years,

Which calls forth tears.

Ancient laureates were buried like their ancient peers.

Along the river I go where I will;

Up city walls and watch towers I gaze my fill.

Do not ask what has passed without leaving a trail!

To what avail?

The endless river rolls in vain beyond the rail.

南鄉(xiāng)子

自古帝王州，

郁郁蔥蔥佳氣浮。

四百年來成一夢，

堪愁。

晉代衣冠成古丘。

繞水恣行游，

上盡層城更上樓。

往事悠悠君莫問，

回頭。

檻外長江空自流。
