雙語 ● 我欲醉眠芳草

TUNE: THE MOON OVER THE WEST RIVER

Wavelet on wavelet glimmers by the shores;

Cloud on cloud dimly appears in the sky.

Unsaddled is my white-jadelike horse;

Drunk, asleep in the sweet grass I’ll lie.

My horse’s hoofs may break, I’m afraid,

The breeze-rippled brook paved by moonlit jade.

I tether my horse to a bough of green willow

Near the bridge where I pillow

My head on arms and sleep till cuckoo’s songs awake

A spring daybreak.

西江月

照野彌彌淺浪，

橫空隱隱層霄。

障泥未解玉驄驕，

我欲醉眠芳草。

可惜一溪風月，

莫教踏碎瓊瑤。

解鞍欹枕綠楊橋，

杜宇一聲春曉。
