雙語 ● 荷葉荷花水底天

TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

浣溪沙

PARTING WITH LU CHI

送盧傺

Lotus leaves and blooms mirrored in water sky-blue;

荷葉荷花水底天，

We drink from jade wine-bottle the fresh fountain-brew.

玉壺冰酒釀新泉。

While making merry, can we forget bygone years?

一歡聊復(fù)記他年。

A stranger here, I’ll go back to my native hill;

我亦故山歸去客，

Before parting with you, long, long I linger still.

與君分手暫留連。

O songstress fair, don’t sing of meeting without tears!

佳人休唱好因緣。
