徐灿·《南唐浣溪沙·十五夜》

暖浅寒轻夜气和，

踏春红袂试纤罗。

月似美人慵欲睡，

晕横波。

懒逐香尘看火树，

自笺新调当笙歌。

半侧流霞三两爵，

不须多。

Nantang huan xi sha:

The Night of the Fifteenth

Xu Can

The warmth is faint, the chill light, the night air mild;

Picking a red dress for my spring jaunt, I try on sheer gauze.

The moon is like a languid beauty about to sleep,

Its halo diffusing waves.

Too idle to follow the fragrant dust or watch the splendid lights,

I write new verses in place of pipes and songs.

Half-leaning toward the flowing clouds, two or three cups

No need for more.
