TUNE: SONG OF MORE SUGAR

Where comes sorrow? Autumn on the heart

Of those who part.

See the banana trees sigh without rain or breeze!

All say that cool and nice is night,

But I won’t climb the height to see the moon bright.

My years have passed in dreams

Like flowers on the streams.

The swallows gone away, in alien land I still stay.

O willow twigs, long as you are,

Why don’t you gird her waist and bar

Her way from going afar!

糖多令

何处合成愁？

离人心上秋。

纵芭蕉不雨也飕飕。

都道晚凉天气好，

有明月，怕登楼。

年事梦中休，

花空烟水流。

燕辞归，客尚淹留。

垂柳不萦裙带住?

漫长是系行舟。
