罗贯中 - 龟虽寿（原作者曹操） 歌词翻译

Old tortoise long may live.
It’ll face its fate someday.
The serpent wings yond haze.
To ashes it’ll decay.
By trough the old steed lies.
For journey long it vies.
Brave warrior in late years,
his young heart never dies.
Life’s wax or wane relies
on Heaven’s will alone.
Maintaining bod’ly health’s
to life long-lasting prone.
Too much of joy I feel,
I chant my thoughts with songs.

神龟虽寿，
犹有竟时。
螣蛇乘雾，
终为土灰。
老骥伏枥，
志在千里。
烈士暮年，
壮心不已。
盈缩之期，
不但在天；
养怡之福，
可得永年。
幸甚至哉，
歌以咏志。
