Meeting Li Guinian in Jiangnan

I saw you very often in Prince Qi’s mansion;

Many times I heard you sing in Cui the ninth’s hall.

The scenery of Jiangnan is now most beautiful;

It’s a pity that we should meet in a flower-falling season.

（文殊、王晉熙、鄧炎昌 譯）

 

2.

Coming Across a Disfavored Court Musician on the Southern Shore of the Yangtze River

How oft in princely mansions did we meet!

As oft in lordly halls I heard you sing.

Now the Southern scenery is most sweet,

But I meet you again in parting spring.

Meeting Li Guinian South of the River

（許淵衝 譯)

 

3.

Meeting Li Guinian South of the River

Often did I see you in King Qi’s dome;

I sometimes heard you sing at Lord Cui’s home.

Now Spring in South, at streams, hills, and plains all;

Again I see you but flowers start to fall.

（王大濂 譯）

 

4.

Coming Across Li Guinian in South of the Yangtze River

You accessed the prince's mansion routinely in days of old,

You sang in nobles’ halls with your melodies amazing.

It’s the prime when scenes in south of Yangtze unfold,

I come across you at a season when flowers are falling.

（唐宋韻 試譯）
