定风波

罗绮满城春欲暮，

百花洲上寻芳去。

浦映□花花映浦，

无尽处，

恍然身入桃源路。

莫怪山翁聊逸豫，

功名得丧归时数，

莺解新声蝶解舞，

天赋与，

争教我辈无欢绪！

TUNE: CALMING WIND AND WAVES

 

When spring is late, the silken gown

Outshines the town.

Why not go to enjoy flowers which blend

With shadows in the pool without an end?

It seems I’m lost on the Peach Blossom Way.

No wonder mountaineers would hesitate;

Rank and fame, loss or gain depend on fate.

Butterflies love to dance, orioles to sing new song;

To the happy race they belong.

Why should we cheerless stay?
