雙語 ● 畫舫東時洛水清

TUNE: PARTRIDGE IN THE SKY

鷓鴣天

Your painted boat went eastward on the river clear.

畫舫東時洛水清，

How could I bear the parting sorrow sad and drear?

別離心緒若為情。

Since in west wind with tears in eyes we bade adieu,

西風挹淚分攜后，

Nine out of ten nights I dream of the station and you,

十夜長亭九夢君。

Clouds fly over water wide,

云背水，

Wild geese over riverside,

雁回汀?

Only amid sweet grass

只應芳草見離魂。

Can I see leaving soul, alas!

前回共采芙蓉處，

Last time we came together to pick lotus leaves;

風自凄凄月自明。

Now the lonely moon in the dreary breeze still grieves.
