双语 ●午醉醒来愁未醒

天仙子

水调数声持酒听，

午醉醒来愁未醒。

送春春去几时回？

临晚镜，

伤流景，

往事后期空记省。

沙上并禽池上暝，

云破月来花弄影。

重重帘幕密遮灯。

风不定，

人初静，

明日落红应满径。

TUNE: SONG OF THE IMMORTAL

Wine cup in hand, I listen to Water Melody;

Awake from wine at noon, but not from melancholy.

When will spring come back now it is going away?

In the mirror, alas!

I see happy time pass.

In vain may I recall the old days gone for aye.

Night falls on poolside sand where pairs of lovebirds stay;

The moon breaks through the clouds, with shadows flowers play.

Lamplights veiled by screen on screen can’t be seen.

The fickle wind still blows;

The night so silent grows.

Tomorrow fallen reds should cover the pathway.
