   八聲甘州 (冬意) __ 李勝生
   Tune: Ganzhou Eight Tones (Winter Mood) by Li Shengsheng
   Tr. YK Chan

   四十多年異國浮生 Forty years in strange land I roam
   幾番盡寒冬 Through chilly winters
   一朝風霜絕 Once gales and sleet cease
   韶華無覓 Good time not found
   蕩氣無蹤 Muse not resound
   曲直盤根交錯 Entangled many ways
   沉壓鎖重重 Depressed I do say
   最是荒涼處 In deep desolation
   江厚難溶 Thick ice won’t melt away

   且把餘柴剩火 May the remnant sparkles
   劫後灰塵裡 after dusts settle
   再燃熊熊 Brightly rekindle
   但恐時不與 But unsynchronized
   力歇未爐濃 An exhausted stove would dwindle
   問天宮 鵲橋安在 Oh heaven, is Magpie Bridge there still
   倩素星 伴我曲音中 Beloved maiden, sing my song with me
   春花夜 晚霞同倚 A spring fragrant night, in evening haze
   共醉燈虹 Together we relish this candle light
