（古詩詞英譯） 出塞词 – （唐）馬戴

出塞词 – （唐）馬戴

 

金带连环束战袍，

马头冲雪度临洮。

卷旗夜劫单于帐，

乱斫胡兵缺宝刀。

 

A Quatrain by Ma Dai (Tang Dynasty)

(Frontier)

 

On chargers charging in snow, wearing warrior-gears,

They cross Lintao River, holding red-ribboned spears.

Flags rolling in night wind, they raid tartar chieftain,

Hacking the foes all down till blades bent in loud cheers.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
