（古詩英譯）一剪梅 - 李清照

一剪梅 - 李清照

 

紅藕香殘玉簟秋，

輕解羅裳，獨上蘭舟。

雲中誰寄錦書來？

雁字回時，月滿西樓。

花自飄零水自流。

一種相思，兩處閑愁。

此情無計可消除。

才下眉頭，卻上心頭。

 

A verse in tune of Yijianmei

by Li Qingzhao

 

Lotus wilts, its scent fades, bamboo mat autumn chills,

Gently lifting my gown, alone I board a boat.

Who can send me silken words through clouds that float?

When geese* return, the moonlight my west bower fills.

 

The flowers will fall, and the water will still flow, 

A yearning links one heart hither and one thither.

O, I wonder if such woe would ever wither,

Off my brows it falls, in my heart it starts to sow.
