五年行迈兮归迟迟,采桑山阴兮奉亲慈。
冰霜自洁兮清节持,有客遗金兮志不移。
橐有金兮盍专为母驰,心悦桑女下车兮人可知。
庭中见妾兮徒忸怩,载思往事兮妾心孔悲。
君不如妾之有节兮言姑已而,君不知孝兮世道衰,妾不死兮欲何为。
五年行迈兮归迟迟,采桑山阴兮奉亲慈。
冰霜自洁兮清节持,有客遗金兮志不移。
橐有金兮盍专为母驰,心悦桑女下车兮人可知。
庭中见妾兮徒忸怩,载思往事兮妾心孔悲。
君不如妾之有节兮言姑已而,君不知孝兮世道衰,妾不死兮欲何为。
在外奔波五年啊,归来迟迟;
在山阴采摘桑叶啊,奉养慈亲。
像冰霜一样自我洁净啊,坚守清白的节操;
有客人馈赠黄金啊,我的心志毫不动摇。
行囊中有金子啊,何不专为母亲奔驰效力?
心里爱慕那采桑女而下车啊,人们应当明白。
在庭院中见到我啊,只是忸怩不安;
追思往事啊,妾心无比悲伤。
您不如妾身有节操啊,这些话就到此为止吧。
您不懂得孝道啊,世道已然衰微。
妾身若不死啊,还想做什幺呢?
Five years I journeyed, oh, my return was slow;
Picking mulberry leaves in the mountain's shade, I served my dear mother with care.
Pure as ice and frost, I held my chastity clear;
A traveler offered gold, but my will did not sway.
With gold in the pouch, why not hasten solely for mother's sake?
My heart pleased with the mulberry girl who alighted—people should know.
Seeing me in the courtyard, she was merely bashful;
Recalling past events, oh, her heart is deeply grieved.
You, sir, are not like this woman who has principle—let these words stop here.
You know not filial piety—the world's way decays.
If I do not die, what then is left for me to do?
孝道认同在长周期中维系家庭纽带。
游子久行归乡迟,采桑奉亲表孝思。
本诗为乐府,押平声韵。
