芥子50期 －《答 東坡居士 / My Answer to Su Dong-po》(星熒)

《答 東坡居士 / My Answer to Su Dong-po》
(倣蘇軾《水調歌頭》詞韻作【註】)

星熒

明月總會有，何須問蒼天！
凡塵多少事，休怪天上人間！

世人分貴賤，庶民柴米油鹽，
有幸忙炊事，何懼廚房油煙？

辛苦為生活，一生不得閒！
焉得起舞弄影，何來天上人間？

A full moon will always come back some other days.
Why bother asking Heaven!
Too much tedious events, enough is enough for this world . . . .
Please, blame not Heaven or Earth any more!

People are divided, the noble and the ordinary.
Things the common people would care about are their own daily necessities.
We feel we've been lucky enough to be busy and have food to cook.
How could we complain about the greasy smoke in the kitchen?

We are working hard for our own daily lives without enjoying a moment of leisure time!
It would be a distant dream to think of
"the heavenly dance with splendid lights and shadows"!
Oh! We wish there were a Heaven on Earth for us too!

【註】本來想把蘇軾 的《水調歌頭》詞 點注出來，現在就讓她唱出來吧！
