《青玉案 元夕》 （宋）辛棄疾

 

Translated by Albert Kung (Feb 20, 2019)

東風夜放花千樹

zephyr nights of thousand blooms

更吹落，

fallen pedals

星如雨。

like falling stars

寶馬雕車香滿路，

carriages parade the fragrant street 

鳳蕭聲動，

jolly flutes in sashay kiss

玉壺光轉，

sparkling wine in scintillating midst

一夜魚龍舞。

fill the night with dragon twist 

蛾柳黃金縷，

dancing moths

wafting trees

embrace the beaming towers

笑語盈盈暗香去

sashay smiles with fading kisses

眾裏尋他千百度，

Searching among the sea of people

驀然回首，

Serendipity Rear

那人卻在，

He is there

燈火闌珊處。

Out shine the blazing people
