TUNE: EVERLASTING LONGING

长相思

WRITTEN IN A BOAT

舟中作

In a fair breeze I float,

好风浮?

When stops the evening rain,

晚雨收，

By leafy forest’s shade set off my birdlike boat,

林叶阴阴映舣舟，

At sunset the fair leaning on rails waits in vain.

斜阳明倚楼。

I fix my gloomy gaze

黯凝眸，

And recall my trips alone.

忆旧游，

A leaflike boat on Griefless Lake in autumn haze,

艇子扁舟来莫愁，

Braved wind and waves, heading for the Town of Stone.

石城风浪秋。
