TUNE: THE PRINCE RECALLED

忆王孙

SONG OF SPRING

春词

Luxuriant grass reminds me of my roving mate.

萋萋芳草忆王孙，

In vain my heart breaks in willow-shaded tower high.

柳外高楼空断魂。

“Better go home!” How could I bear the cuckoo’s cry!

杜宇声声不忍闻。

The evening is growing late,

欲黄昏，

The rain beats on pear blossoms, I shut up the gate.

雨打梨花深闭门。
