唐多令
刘过
安远楼小集，侑觞歌板之姬黄其姓者，乞词于龙洲道人，为赋此《唐多令》。同柳阜之、刘去非、石民瞻、周嘉仲、陈孟参、孟容。时八月五日也。
芦叶满汀洲，
寒沙带浅流。
二十年重过南楼。
柳下系船犹未稳，
能几日，
又中秋。
黄鹤断矶头，
故人今在否？
旧江山浑是新愁。
欲买桂花同载酒，
终不似，
少年游。
Song of More Sugar
Liu Guo
Reeds overspread the small island;
A shallow stream girds the cold sand.
After twenty years
I pass by the Southern Tower again.
How many days have passed since I tied my boat
Beneath the willow tree! But Mid-Autumn Day nears.
On broken rocks of Yellow Crane,
Do my old friends still remain?
The old land is drowned in sorrow new.
Even if I can buy laurel wine for you
And get afloat,
Could our youth renew?
注释：
The poet is grieved to see the old land drowned in new sorrow.
《唐多令·芦叶满汀洲》南宋词人刘过的创作的一首重游故地的忆旧之作。词人二十年前曾在安远楼与朋友名士聚会，二十年后重游此地，感慨今昔，因此写了这首词。上阕概括描写秋令时节安元楼的情景。下阕触动物是人非的感叹。“旧江山浑是新愁”淡语有深情，为全篇之主旨。全词言简意丰，情致哀婉。
“Song of More Sugar” is a reminiscent piece composed by Liu over, a lyricist of the Southern Song Dynasty, who revisited his hometown. The lyricist had a gathering with his friends and famous scholars at Anyuan Lou twenty years ago, and revisited the place twenty years later, feeling the present and the past, so he wrote this lyric. The first section describes the scene of Anyuan Lou during the autumn season. The next section touches on the lamentation that things have changed. The main theme of the whole piece is “the old rivers and mountains are full of new sorrows”, which has deep feelings. The lyrics are simple and rich in meaning, and the mood is sorrowful.
