一老年人 旭日新天照 殘星舊宇凝 In the brand new sky

《南歌子 ‧ 夏早郊行》一老年人

旭日新天照，殘星舊宇凝。
曉風搖竹籟聲聲，薄霧籠山朝露潤花盈。

散雀枝梢唱，山溪石上騰。
危亭獨坐聽蟬鳴，遠看遙鷹結伴繞峰青。

'Summer Morning Country Stroll'

-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

In the brand new skies
The fresh Sun does rise;
Fading stars are hurrying home,
All frozen in yesterday’s dome.
Caressed by winds in the morning,
The bamboo grove keeps on rattling.
All over the thin-mist-veiled hills
Sparkling dawn dew moist the flow’rs still.

Scatter’d birds on branch-tops sing their song,
Many a rock rivulets run along.
At high pavilion -- seated alone --
I listen to the loud, shrill, long
Cicada cries while watching eagles
Above distant green hills circle.

我是王維林
悲情如雪我就在你們中間
我也將指揮歡樂頌開啟中國的勃蘭登堡門
我訂購了永遠在場的歷史門票
自從那個永不消失的早晨。

"I am Wang Weilin (the 'Tiananmen Tank Man')" Poem No. 9 (of 9)

-- by 北明 'Northern Brightness'

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

I am (the 'Tank Man') Wang Weilin --
Tragically romantic and cold,
I am in your midst in blowing snow --
The "Ode to Joy" also I'll be conducting
When the 'Bradenburg Gate in China' is unlocking!
I have bought my ticket for
The "World History Show", that's in existence fore'ermore,
Since that fateful Never-Fading ("June 4") Morning.

Notes by Translator:

1. 我也將指揮 "歡樂頌" : ("Ode to Joy" is originally "Ode to Freedom"!)
the following excerpted from 'wikipedia':

"歡樂頌" or "Ode to Joy" is written in 1785 by Friedrich Schiller, German poet, playwright and historian. Best known for its use by Ludwig van Beethoven in (the final movement of) his Ninth Symphony, Beethoven's tune was adopted as the Anthem of Europe (by the Council of Europe in 1972), and subsequently the European Union.

... <Despite the lasting popularity of the ode, Schiller himself regarded it as a failure later in his life, going so far as calling it "detached from reality" and "of value maybe for us two, but not for the world, nor for the art of poetry" in a 1800 letter to his long-time friend and patron Christian Gottfried Körner (whose friendship had originally inspired him to write the ode).
To the extent the foregoing account is true, it may be due to Schiller's having changed a key word out of fear. "Leonard Bernstein reminded his audiences, the poem was originally an 'Ode to Freedom' and the word 'Joy' (Freude instead of Freiheit, added to the third pillar, Freundschaft) came as a substitute for the more overtly political theme.">

2. 開啟中國的 "勃蘭登堡門"  the "Bradenburg Gate of China" :

the following excerpted from 'xinhuanet.com':


< 勃蘭登堡門（Brandenburger Tor）位于柏林市中心菩提樹大街和６月１７日大街的交匯處，是柏林市區著名的遊覽勝地和德國統一的象徵。 ... (勃蘭登堡門西側的三月十八日廣場，以紀念1848年3月18日的德國三月革命和1990年3月18日民主德國的第一次人民議會自由選舉而命名。六月十七日大街，則是為了紀念1953年6月17日發生在民主德國的人民起義) ...
此門頂端設計了一套青銅裝飾雕像：四匹飛馳的駿馬拉著一輛雙輪戰車，戰車上站著一位背插雙翅的女神，她一手執杖一手提轡，一只展翅欲飛的普魯士飛鷹 鷲立在女神手執的飾有月桂花環的權杖上。在各通道內側的石壁上鑲嵌著沙多創作的２０幅描繪古希臘神話中大力神海格拉英雄事跡的大理石浮雕畫。３０幅反映古 希臘和平神話 “和平徵戰” 的大理石浮雕裝飾在城門正面的石門楣上。此門建成之後曾被命名為“和平之門”，戰車上的女神被稱為 “和平女神”。…
１８１４年歐洲同盟軍在滑鐵盧大敗拿破侖後，普魯士將其索回，重新安放在此門頂上。為此，德國著名雕家申克爾又雕刻了一枚象徵普魯士民族解放戰爭勝利的鐵十字架，鑲在女神的月桂花環中。從此，和平女神被改稱為勝利女神，此門也逐漸成為德意志帝國的象徵。…

１９６１年８月１３日，民主德國政府圍繞西柏林修築了一道圍墻，封鎖了勃蘭登堡門，並在東、西柏林分界處建起“柏林墻”，勃蘭登堡門處在東、西柏林的交界點上，成了柏林墻的一部分。柏林墻在勃蘭登堡門後劃了一道弧形並向左右兩邊延伸將整個柏林隔成兩半。作為德意志統一象徵的勃蘭登堡門成了軍事禁區，也成了德國分裂的標志。> ...

"I am Wang Weilin 

(the 'Tiananmen Tank Man')" Poem No. 1 (of 9)

-- by 北明 'Northern Brightness'

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

I am Wang Weilin (the ‘Tank Man’ you see on TV ) –

A name that simply disappeared without deletion,   

A life without good-byes that’s met with termination,

An existence with no temperature (that’s larger than ‘me’),

A youth who mysteriously disappeared

In that Morning that was by bullets pierced.

當你迎面秋天落葉繽紛
當你仰望舒雲長空漫卷
當你聽見排浪江海翻騰
那是我，來自那個不朽的早晨。

Wang Weilin am I –
When you shower in Winter’s myriad Snow Flakes falling,
When you come face to face with  golden Aut'mn Leaves flying,
When you gaze at White Clouds in the skies at ease sailing,
When you hear rows of Waves rolling in and churning,
That's me (-- the 'Tiananmen Tank Man' am I)
Who came from that Immortal Morning.

從中國結束世界冷戰的命運

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

I am Wang Weilin (the 'Tank Man' and know this please) --
The Beijing soaked-in-a-blood-bath representing,
The human race's Spirit of Freedom symbolizing --
At the Avenue of Eternal Peace
I dug out a piece from the Berlin wall --
From China I helped to end the Cold War for all,
In that early crimson morning
When funeral bells were tolling!

   烈士何年壯志伸，

   廣場昔日舊啼痕；

   自由火炬光芒在，

   民主精神振國魂。

O When? Will leveling Justice ever be done

To all the (valiant, young, hopeful) Martyred Ones?

At the historic Tiananmen Square lovable,

Stains of Freedom’s tears and blood just un-washable!

O The shining, bright burning Torch of Liberty,

From generation to generation, pass on … !

Let the unending quest for True Democracy

Keep our  (thousands-of-year) National Spirit strong!

《西江月‧漁翁》 夜月星河

秋暮漫觀明月，冬朝垂鈎寒江。

煙波極目水滄滄，一任扁舟漾盪。

雲靄遠山寂寂，天涯海角茫茫。

孤篷一覺夢黄粱，隨伴沙鷗逐浪。

-- by 夜月星河 'Night Moon Starry River'

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Leisurely I watch the full Moon in Autumn 

evenings,

And I angle the cold river in Winter 

mornings.

Fog and waves: Water e’erywhere far as 

the eye can see;

With abandonment, I let the tiny boat drift 

free.

All the clouds, and mists, and distant 

mountains are speechless,

While the skies’ verge and seas’ corner so 

vast and boundless.

Waking from a meal-time dream in a lonely 

sail boat,

I chase the waves and along with care-free 

sand gulls float.
