虞兮虞兮奈若何

How sad- so so very sad...

What good is one to be 力拔山兮氣蓋世

while, in your face,

虞兮虞兮奈若何---

Doesn't it reminding you of...

六軍不發無奈何,宛轉蛾眉馬前死。
花鈿委地無人收,翠翹金雀玉搔頭;
君王掩面救不得,迴看血淚相和流。
長恨歌. 白居易

Just when you think all poems from the Hang dynastic is all 兮 oh 兮....

You get 江南, simple words, no better way to depict, at play, fish-ish... lol

Still...

噫吁兮
虞兮虞兮奈若何---

虞姬死死去啊啦... :-O (doesn't sound too classic... ehhhhh lol==> laughing at myself)

垓下歌

力拔山兮氣蓋世
時不利兮騅不逝
騅不逝兮可奈何
虞兮虞兮奈若何


大風歌
(高帝劉邦作)

大風起兮雲飛揚
威加海內兮歸故鄉
安得猛士兮守四方



秋風辭
(漢武帝劉徹作)

秋風起兮白雲飛
草木黃落兮雁南歸
蘭有秀兮菊有芳
懷佳人兮不能忘
汎樓船兮濟汾河
橫中流兮揚素波
簫鼓鳴兮發櫂歌
歡樂極兮哀情多
少壯幾時兮奈老何



江南

江南可採蓮
蓮葉何田田
魚戲蓮葉間
魚戲蓮葉東
魚戲蓮葉西
魚戲蓮葉南
魚戲蓮葉北
