TUNE: LAMENT OF A FAIR LADY

昭君怨

When spring has come to southern bower,

春到南楼雪尽?

Snow melts away.

惊动灯期花信。

It heralds Festival of Flowers

小雨一番寒，

And Lantern Day.

倚阑干。

But a fine rain

莫把阑干频倚，

Brings back the chill again.

一望几重烟水。

I lean upon the rail.

何处是京华？

Don’t oft lean there! Of what avail?

暮云遮。
