TUNE: RIVERSIDE DAFFODILS

 

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;

In the fine rain a pair of swallows fly.

I still remember when I first saw pretty Ping,

In 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.

临江仙

梦后楼台高锁，

酒醒帘幕低垂。

去年春恨却来时，

落花人独立，

细雨燕双飞。

记得小初见，

两重心字罗衣，

琵琶弦上说相思。

当时明月在，

曾照彩云归。
