Le saule

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CHI

Le saule pleureur a penché
Vers l'eau ses branches affligées
Qui semblent à jamais chargées
Du poids d'un antique péché.

La ramure longue et flexible,
Triste d'un repentir constant,
Paraît avoir pleuré l'étang
Qui reflète un ciel impassible.

Confirmed with Louis Avennier, Puisque l'oiseau chante..., 2nd edition, Lausanne, F. Payot, 1895, page 22.

柳

Language: Chinese (中文) after the French (Français)

垂柳树已倾斜向
水面，受苦的树枝
似乎永远地受制
于古老罪恶重量。
 
长而灵活的鹿角，
不断忏悔而悲伤，
好像哭泣过的池塘
映出一片天空冷漠
