TUNE: GREEN WILLOW TIPS

柳梢青

I part with the fair in green and bright red,

红分翠别，

Half awake from wine of last night,

宿酒半醒，

My steed ready to start.

征鞍将发。

The bell lingers beyond the tower,

楼外残钟，

In the tent flickers candlelight,

帐前残烛，

The waning moon peeps into her bower.

窗边残月。

The sleepless buries in the pillow her head,

想伊绣枕无眠，

Thinking of the wayfarer going north and south,

记行客如今去也。

Unforgettable in her heart,

心下难拚，

Invisible to her sight,

眼前难觅，

Unutterable in her mouth.

口头难说。
