TUNE: THE LOVER’S RETURN

 

Old perfume and face powder smell as before;

To my regret your love’s no more.

You sent me but few lines in spring,

Still fewer words does autumn bring.

Cold phoenix quilt for two,

And lovebird pillow lonely,

My sorrow can be drowned in wine only.

E’en if I dream of you, the dream will not come true.

Now you won’t come in dreams, what can I do?

阮郎归

旧香残粉似当初，

人情恨不如。

一春犹有数行书，

秋来书更疏。

衾凤冷，

枕鸳孤，

愁肠待酒舒。

梦魂纵有也成虚，

那堪和梦无？
