岳飞 《满江红·怒发冲冠》

怒发冲冠,

凭栏处,

潇潇雨歇。

抬望眼,

仰天长啸,

壮怀激烈。

三十功名尘与土,

八千里路云和月。

莫等闲,

白了少年头,

空悲切!

靖康耻,

犹未雪,

臣子恨,

何时灭!

驾长车踏破,

贺兰山缺。

壮志饥餐胡虏肉,

笑谈渴饮匈奴血。

待从头,

收拾旧山河,

朝天阙!

Hair on End
(Tune: “The River All Red”)

Yue Fei

Hair on end and shoving my hat,
In wrath I lean on th’ balustrade,
While th’ rain leaves off its pitter-pat.
Eyes fixed skyward, I sign long and loud.
A hero’s fury fills my breast.
At thirsty, nothing achieved, unknown,
—but these to me are light as dust—
I’ve fought through eight-thousand li
Holding the field, under cloud and moon.
What I do mind, is not to let
My young head turn white in vain,
And be gnawed by empty sorrow then.

With the Jingkang Humiliation yet
Unavenged, unredressed,
How can a subject’s grievance be
Ever effaced from memory?
I’ll send war-chariots rough-shod
Through the gorges of Mt. Helan;
To quench my thirst, I’d drink the blood
Of Huns, while laugh and chat I can;
Heroic minded, to satiate hunger,
I would make Tartars’ flesh my fare.
’Til our lost land is all retrieved,
Then to the Imperial Palace, there
I’ll make obeisance, relieved!
