（古詩詞英譯）鷓鴣天·小令尊前見玉簫 — 晏幾道

鷓鴣天·小令尊前見玉簫 — 晏幾道

 

小令尊前見玉簫。

銀燈一曲太妖嬈。

歌中醉倒誰能恨，

唱罷歸來酒未消。
春悄悄，夜迢迢。

碧雲天共楚宮遙。

夢魂慣得無拘檢，

又踏楊花過謝橋。

 

A Verse by Yan Ji-dao

 

At the lamp-lit banquet, her ditty draws me nigh

Miss Jade Flute, in silver light, a feast to my eye.

Who dare begrudge me — drunk upon her melodies,

When all fades, I return, her spells of wine still high...

 

The spring air so hushed, the night, for aye, holds the sky,

Azure clouds like Halls of Chu — too far to descry.

O, my soul in dream is wont to roam unfettered —

Again, the catkin-clad bridge of Xie I glide by.
