爱华网《夜雨寄北》
--李商隐
君问归期未有期，
巴山夜雨涨秋池。
何当共剪西窗烛，
却话巴山夜雨时。
初译版：
Nostalgia on a Rainy Night
-Li Shangyin
-Tr. 许景城（Peter CooperXu）
When to return thou ask me is still unknown,
As water’s brimming the autumn pond up-flown.
When to prune wicks again with thee isyearning,
As we meet on the rainy night convening.
Notes:
1. Li Shangyin (812-858) was a renowned poet in late TangDynasty.
2. This poem written in 848 naturally shows the poet's missingof his wife in the Chang’an during his journey in the regions ofBashu (now inSichuanprovince), although the lyrics are provincialand simple.

As water’s brimming the autumn pond up-flown.
When shall we prune wicks again I amyearning,
By western window rainy nights convening?

Souvenirs

You ask when I’m coming: alas not just yet.
How the rain filled the pools on that night whenwe met!
Ah, when shall we ever snuff candles again,
And recall the glad hours of that evening ofrain?

A note on a Rainy Night to a Friend inthe North
-Tr. Witter Bynner
You ask me when I am coming, I do not know.
I dream of your mountains and autumn poolsbrimming all night with the rain.
Oh, when shall we be trimming wicks again,together in your western window?
When shall I be hearing your voice again, allnight in the rain?

Written on a Rainy Night to My Wife inthe North
-Tr. Xu Yuanchong
You ask me when I can come back but I don’tknow,
The pools in western hills with autumn raino’erflow.
When by our window can we trim the wicksagain
And talk about this endless, dreary night of rain?
