有姪始六歲,字之為阿龜。
有女生三年,其名曰羅兒。
一始學笑語,一能誦歌詩。
朝戲抱我足,夜眠枕我衣。
汝生何其晚,我年行已衰。
物情小可念,人意老多慈。
酒美竟須壞,月圓終有虧。
亦如恩愛緣,乃是憂惱資。
舉世同此累,吾安能去之。

有個侄子才六歲
給他取小名叫阿龜
有個女兒出生三年
她的名字叫羅兒
一個剛開始學說話
一個已經能背誦歌詩
早晨嬉戲抱著我的腳
夜裡睡覺枕著我的衣服
你們出生得多麼晚啊
我的年歲已走向衰老
對微小事物的情感值得懷念
人到老時心意多慈愛
美酒終究會變壞
圓月最終會有缺
也如同恩愛的情緣
正是憂愁煩惱的資本
全天下都同有此牽累
我怎能去除它呢
A nephew just six years old,
I call him Little Turtle.
A daughter born three years ago,
Her name is Little Silk.
One begins to learn to laugh and talk,
One can already recite poems.
Morning play, they hug my feet,
Night sleep, they pillow on my clothes.
You were born so late,
My years are already in decline.
The affection for small things is touching,
An old man's heart grows more tender.
Fine wine must eventually spoil,
The full moon will always wane.
Just like bonds of love and affection,
They become the source of worry and vexation.
All the world shares this burden,
How could I possibly cast it away?
白居易晚年得子侄,感慨生命與情感的矛盾。
對親情牽累的認知,揭示了人生治理中無法迴避的永恆博弈。
詩人借幼侄幼女的天真可愛,抒發對生命衰老、世事無常的感慨。
衰老 · 恩愛 · 憂惱
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
