TUNE: DRUNK IN TIME OF PEACE A FAIR ZITHER PLAYER
醉太平
With heart and mind aspiring high,
情高意真,
With eyebrows long and forehead dark,
眉长鬓青。
In moonlit bower to play on zither I try.
小楼明月调筝,
O vernal wind, O hark!
写春风数声。
I think of you, I long for you, unseen
思君忆君,
Even in my dream, O beloved of mine!
魂牵梦萦。
When incense warms the mica screen,
翠绡香暖熏云屏,
What can I do when I’m awake from wine?
更那堪酒醒!
