TUNE: COMPLAINT OF A GALLANT

 

I pine for him all day.

Who knows my misery and anxiety

Gnawing without my knowledge at my heart?

Quiet awhile, but suddenly

I know not where to settle down or live apart.

Inch by inch my heart is broken away.

What can I say?

How much it grieves!

O how can I refrain

From talking about him now and again!

In vain I wipe away my lovesick tears with sleeves.

怨春郎

为伊家终日闷，

受尽惶谁问？

不知不觉上心头，

悄一霎，

身心顿也没处顿。

恼愁肠，

成寸寸。

已恁莫把人萦损。

奈每每人前道着伊，

空把相思泪眼和衣揾。
