金色大海明镜展,
The golden sea its mirror spreads
横在彤红长天边,
Beneath the golden skies,
大陆与影卧中间,
And but a narrow strip between
只剩狭长线一段。
Of land and shadow lies.
礁如云来云如岩,
The cloud-like rocks,the rock-like clouds
浮融互化共潋滟,
Dissolved in glory float,
海面明亮金灿灿,
And midway of the radiant flood,
静静摇摆一叶船。
Hangs silently the boat.
海是天的另一面,
The sea is but another sky,
天是大海深湛蓝,
The sky a sea as well,
哪是大陆哪是天?
And which is earth and which is heaven,
肉眼几乎不可辨。故而当人至暮年,
The eye can scarcely tell.So when for us life’s evening hour,
韶华褪尽不再坚,
Soft fading shall descend,
天地交合生壮观,
May glory, born of earth and heaven,
但愿天地融调掺。漂荡浮游魂悠闲,
The earth and heaven blend.Flooded with peace the spirits float,
静现红光于明艳,
With silent rapture glow,
何处地终始乐园,
Till where earth ends and heaven begins,
灵魂永远难了然。
The soul shall scarcely know.
