江山

后宫三千
成与败
都要有寡人的气派
长江以北用来逐鹿
以南适合开桃花源
东边日出,西边雪
才配得上我的万里长城
要火热,就把赤壁拿来烤脚
要温柔,就让三谭印月上头
江山如画
全在洛阳的一张纸上
一落笔,满江红
一挥手,阴山盖苍穹
我要用一千年来走江湖
一千年来想美人
如果还不够
就再玩一千年
借它七国
再借个西施
一起卧薪尝胆




The Land of Throne

By Muzi Yu
Tr Sibin Lu

Three thousand of beauties in my back court,
Win or lose,
I’ll keep my air of Majesty and Lord —
The north of the Yangtze is all for me to hunt,
And the south, to be my Peach Blossom Resort,
Sunny in the east and snow in the west
Thus can match the Great Wall, the long fort.
Want heat, just put my feet on the Red Cliff battlefield
Soft warmth in need, on the West Lake aboard.
Well, what a pretty landscape, my land !
All in a painting on a piece of Luoyang paper I found
A drop of the brush, all the river is red,
A wave of my arm, the sky dome over the Yinshan Mount so broad!
One millennium I’ll tour the land far and near
One millennium more, wooing the beauty I dear
If not enough, I'll play for thousand years
And borrow other seven countries for sure
Without forgetting to invite Xishi so pure
To meditate on a straw-bed in retire.
