TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

 

From day to day we vie in painting eyebrows long,

As light-hearted as wafting clouds and willowdown

My heart won’t wed a gallant fond of wine and song.

The wine I spilt left stains on my fan of songstress;

The flowers I played with, perfumed my dancing gown.

Shedding tears all the spring, I tell my loneliness.

浣溪沙

日日双眉都画长，

行云飞絮共轻狂。

不将心嫁冶游郎。

溅酒滴散歌扇子，

弄花熏得舞衣香。

一春弹泪说凄凉。
