清平乐
村居[1]
辛弃疾
茅檐低小，
溪上青青草。
醉里吴音[2]相媚好[3]，
白发谁家翁媪[4]。
大儿锄豆溪东，
中儿[5]正织鸡笼。
最喜小儿无赖[6]，
溪头卧剥莲蓬[7]。

Pure Serene Music
· Live in Countryside
Xin Qiji
The thatched roof slants low,
Beside the brook green grasses grow.
Who talks with drunken Southern voice to please?
White-haired man and wife at their ease.
East of the brook their eldest son is hoeing weeds;
Their second son now makes a cage for hens he feeds.
How pleasant to see their spoiled youngest son who heeds
Nothing but lies by brookside and pods lotus seeds!
