TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

浣溪沙

I recall bygone trips with hills and streams in view,

满目江山忆旧游，

In mild spring breeze riverside grass and flowers sway.

汀洲花草弄春柔。

Would orchid boats stay at Pavilion of Adieu!

长亭舣住木兰舟。

It’s easy for sweet dreams to go with running streams;

好梦易随流水去，

In vain will go my heart as sad morning clouds part.

芳心空逐晓云愁，

Roamer, don’t mount the tower to gaze far away!

行人莫上望京楼。
