雙語 ● 紅英落盡青梅小

春色將闌，

鶯聲漸老，

紅英落盡青梅小。

畫堂人靜雨蒙蒙，

屏山半掩余香裊。

密約沉沉，

離情杳杳，

菱花塵滿慵將照。

倚樓無語欲銷魂，

長空黯淡連芳草。

TUNE: TREADING ON GRASS

Springtime is on the wane;

The oriole’s song grows old,

All red flowers fallen and green mume fruit still small.

Quiet is painted hall

Despite the drizzling rain,

Half-hidden by the screen a wreath of incense cold.

Our vow deep, deep in the heart,

We’re sad to be far, far apart.

I will not look into my brass mirror dust-grey.

Silent, I lean on rails, my soul pining away;

My longing like green grass

Would join the vast dim sky, alas!
