关雎

Cooing And Wooing

关关雎鸠,

By riverside are cooing

在河之洲.

A pair of turtledoves;

窈窕淑女,

A good young man is wooing

君子好逑.

A fair maiden he loves.

参差荇菜,

Water flows left and right

左右流之.

Of cress long here, short there;

窈窕淑女,

The youth yearns day and night

寤寐求之.

For the good maiden fair.

求之不得,

His yearning grows so strong,

寤寐思服.

He can not fall asleep,

悠哉悠哉，

But tosses all night long,

辗转反侧.

So deep in love, so deep!

参差荇菜,

Now gather left and right

左右采之.

Cress long or short and tender!

窈窕淑女,

O lute, play music bright

琴瑟友之.

For the bride sweet and slender!

参差荇菜,

Feast friends at left and right

左右芼之.

On cress cooked till tender!

窈窕淑女,

O bells and drums, delight

钟鼓乐之.

The bride so sweet and slender!

垓下歌

XIANG YU’S LAST SONG

力拔山兮气盖世，

I could pull mountains down, oh! With main and might,

时不利兮骓不逝。

But my good fortune wanes, oh! My steed won’t fight.

骓不逝兮可奈何！

Whether my steed will fight, oh! I do not care.

虞兮虞兮奈若何！

What can I do with you, oh! My lady fair!
