逢故人
何革
莫问北漂事，
十年滋味深。
未曾迁户口，
岂敢改乡音。
额上风兼雨，
杯中古到今。
华灯光影暗，
知是夜沉沉。

Meeting an Old Friend
By HE Ge
Tr. ZHANG Xueli
Ask not in Beijing how I fared;
Ten years of bitter days I’ve shared.
Household registration unchanged,
How dare I leave my tongue estranged?
Rough winds and rain have lined my brow;
My wine holds all from then till now.
The gay lights fade to a dim glow—
The night is deep, and well I know.
何革，四川人。
HE Ge, a poet from Sichuan Province. (吕文澎 译)
