毛泽东

久有凌云志，重上井冈山。

千里来寻故地，旧貌变新颜。

到处莺歌燕舞，更有潺潺流水，高路入云端。

过了黄洋界，险处不须看。

风雷动，旌旗奋，是人寰。

三十八年过去，弹指一挥间。

可上九天揽月，可下五洋捉鳖，谈笑凯歌还。

世上无难事，只要肯登攀。

Tune: Prelude to the Melody of Water

Mount Jinggang Reascended

许渊冲译

Above the clouds I’ve long aspired to soar,

And so I come up Mount Jinggang once more.

A long trip brings me to my old familiar nook,

Where everything has taken on a new look.

Here orioles sing,there swallows swirl,

O’er there streams purl,

And cloud-capped roads lead to the sky.

But after Huangyangjie,

No perilous place will arrests the eye.

The storm is raging.

With flag sun furled:

Such is man’s world.

Thirty-eight years are gone.

As fast as a fillip is done.

We can bring down the moon from the ninth heaven,

Or catch the giant turtles in the sea,

And come back amid triumphant songs in high glee.

Nothing is hard under the sky,

If we but dare to climb up high.
