Shine out, fair Sun, with all your heat

Language: English

Our translations: CHI

 Shine out, fair Sun, with all your heat,
   Show all your thousand-coloured light!
 Black Winter freezes [to]¹ his seat;
   The grey wolf howls, he does so bite;
 Crookt Age on three knees creeps the street;
   The boneless fish close quaking lies
 And eats for cold his aching feet;
   The stars in icicles arise:

 Shine out, and make this winter night
 Our beauty's Spring, our Prince of Light!

丽日闪耀所有热量，

Language: Chinese (中文) after the English

  丽日闪耀所有热量，
    尽显你的千色光芒！
  黑冬僵卧在座位上；
    灰狼嚎叫，将咬人伤；
  拄杖而行老人驼背；
    无骨鱼躺那儿发颤
冷到了吃自己的尾；
    冰柱中的星星出现：

  闪耀，让冬天的晚上
  成为胜春，光线之王！
