TUNE: BEAUTIFUL LADY YU

虞美人

GRIEF IN SPRING

春愁

Light fleecy clouds floating in the east breeze

东风荡飏轻云缕，

Bring drizzling rain down now and then.

时送潇潇雨。

To waterside pavilion swallows come again,

水边台榭燕新归，

And pecking a clod of fragrant clay,

一口香泥，

They fly with falling petals on the way.

湿带落花飞。

The pathway strewn with crabapple blooms like brocade

海棠糁径铺香绣，

Still shows slender spring fade.

依旧成春瘦。

At dusk in the courtyard crows caw amid willow trees.

黄昏庭院柳啼鸦，

I remember my love, it seems,

记得那人，

Picking pear blossoms with moonbeams.

和月折梨花。
