双语 ●一棹碧涛春水路

TUNE: PURE SERENE MUSIC

I could not persuade you to stay;

Drunk, you untied the cabled boat and went away.

Dipping the oars into green waves of spring,

You’d pass all trees where golden orioles sing.

The ferry’s green with willows, leaf on leaf

And twig on twig reveal the parting grief.

Write no more letter if you forget the fresh shower

Brought by the cloud for thirsting flower!

清平乐

留人不住?

醉解兰舟去。

一棹碧涛春水路，

过尽晓莺啼处。

渡头杨柳青青，

枝枝叶叶离情。

此后锦书休寄，

画楼云雨无凭。
