雙語 ● 肥水東流無盡期

TUNE: PARTRIDGE IN THE SKY

鷓鴣天

A DREAM ON THE NIGHT OF LANTERN FESTIVAL

元夜有所夢

The endless River Fei to the east keeps on flowing;

肥水東流無盡期，

The love seed we once sowed forever keeps on growing.

當初不合種相思。

Your face I saw in dream was not clear to my eyes

夢中未比丹青見，

As in your portrait, soon I am wakened by birds’ cries.

暗里忽驚山鳥啼。

Spring not yet green,

春未綠，

My grey hair seen,

鬢先絲，

Our separation’s been too long to grieve the heart.

人間別久不成悲。

Why make the past reappear

誰教歲歲紅蓮夜，

Before us from year to year

兩處沉吟各自知。
