臨江仙——晏幾道

臨江仙

--晏幾道

夢后樓臺高鎖，

酒醒簾幕低垂。

去年春恨卻來時，

落花人獨立，

微雨燕雙飛。

記得小蘋初見，

兩重心字羅衣。

琵琶弦上說相思。

當(dāng)時明月在，

曾照彩云歸。

Riverside Daffodils

Translated by Xu Yuanchong & Xu Ming

Awake from dreams, I find the locked tower high;

Sober from wine, I see the curtain hanging low.

As last year spring grief seems to grow.

Amid the falling blooms alone stand I;

I the fine rain a pair of swallows fly.

I still remember when I first saw pretty Ping,

I silken dress embroidered with two hearts in a ring,

Revealing lovesickness by touching pipa's string.

The moon shines bright just as last year;

It did see her like a cloud disappear.

【賞析】

這是一首感舊懷人的名篇，本詞為懷念歌女小蘋所作。上片寫別后的孤獨和刻骨相思，寫今日，下片追憶初見小蘋時的印象及小蘋歸去時的情景，寫去時的情景，寫去年。據(jù)作者《小山詞》自跋所述，作者好友沈廉叔、陳君友家有蓮、鴻、蘋、云四個歌女，詞人及其好友的新詞經(jīng)常由她們在席間歌唱。作者和詞中小蘋亦曾有過一段戀情，后沈歿陳病，小蘋等人也就風(fēng)飄云散，不知去向。
