生來不著塵泥涴,天下何妨名字多。
一世炎涼獨風月,四時榮落付煙波。
自知根節全冰玉,人道丰姿照綺羅。
濯濯晨光香十里,為君敲槳叫吳歌。
生來不著塵泥涴,天下何妨名字多。
一世炎涼獨風月,四時榮落付煙波。
自知根節全冰玉,人道丰姿照綺羅。
濯濯晨光香十里,為君敲槳叫吳歌。
生來就不沾染塵世的泥汙,天下不妨有眾多的名字稱呼我。
經歷一世的世態炎涼,我獨與清風明月相伴。
四季的繁盛與凋零,都託付給那煙波浩渺的水面。
我自知根莖節段都如冰玉般高潔純淨。
人們卻說我的丰姿光彩,映照著華美的綺羅。
在清澈明亮的晨光中,香氣飄散十里之遠。
為你,我敲擊船槳,高唱起江南的吳歌。
Born unstained by mud or dust, the world may call me by many a name.
Through life's heat and chill, I keep my own breeze and moon, unchanged.
Seasons' bloom and fall I entrust to the misty waves, alone.
Well I know my roots and joints are made of jade and ice, pure and whole.
Yet people say my grace outshines the finest silks, a radiant sight.
Bathed in the shimmering dawn, my fragrance wafts for miles around.
For you, I tap the oar and sing a southern song, a joyful sound.
高潔品性超越汙名,是一種內在治理。
讚美蓮花出淤泥而不染,聲名遠播亦無妨。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
