青玉案 賀鑄(1052-1125)

凌波不過橫塘路  但目送 芳塵去  錦瑟華年誰與度  月橋花院  瑣窗朱戶  只有春知處 

飛雲冉冉蘅皋暮  彩筆新題斷腸句  試問閒愁都幾許  一川煙草  滿城風絮  梅子黃時雨

Tune:  Green Jade Desk        He Zhu (1052-1125)                江紹倫譯

Will your ripple-like steps ever come this way again
My eyes followed the fragrant dusts raised by your passing
With whom will you spend your youthful years in delight
On moonlit bridges and flower-filled courts
Inside blinded windows and crimson door
A dwelling known only to spring

When fleeting clouds fly past the green plain at dusk
I wave my brush once again to write heart-broken verses
Asked how deep and wide my lovesickness is
Misty river banks where grass thrive
All o’er town catkins carried by wind fly
Pattering drizzles urging plums to ripe
