雙語(yǔ) ● 煙柳疏疏人悄悄

TUNE: RIVERSIDE DAFFODILS

臨江仙

All quiet, sparse are mist-veiled willow trees;

煙柳疏疏人悄悄，

In painted bower a flute wafts with the breeze.

畫樓風(fēng)外吹笙。

She leans on rails. Who calls “Rosette” in a voice low,

倚闌低喚小紅聲，

When incense burnt, to bed she wants to go?

熏香臨欲睡，

The water clock shows it’s midnight.

玉漏已三更。

She waits for him to come; just come, again he’ll go,

坐待不來(lái)來(lái)又去，

Leaving the square courtyard steeped in moonlight.

一方明月中庭。

East of the white-washed wall a small bridge arches low.

粉墻東畔小橋橫，

Rising in the shade of flowers, she tries

起來(lái)花影下，

To catch with her fan flitting fireflies.

扇子撲流螢。
