雙語 ●草色煙光殘照里

鳳棲梧

佇倚危樓風細細，

望極春愁，

黯黯生天際。

草色煙光殘照里，

無言誰會憑欄意？

擬把疏狂圖一醉，

對酒當歌，

強樂還無味。

衣帶漸寬終不悔，

為伊消得人憔悴。

TUNE: PHOENIX PERCHING ON PLANE TREE

I lean alone on balcony in light, light breeze;

As far as the eye sees,

On the horizon dark parting grief grows unseen.

In fading sunlight rises smoke over grass green.

Who understands why mutely on the rails I lean?

I’d drown in wine my parting grief;

Chanting before the cup, strained mirth brings no relief.

I find my gown too large, but I will not regret;

It’s worth while growing languid for my coquette.
