雙語 ●一場寂寞憑誰訴？

洞房記得初相遇，

便只合長相聚。

何期小會幽歡，

化作離情別緒?

況值闌珊春色暮，

對滿目亂花狂絮，

直恐好風光，

盡隨伊歸去。

一場寂寞憑誰訴?

算前言總輕負。

早知恁的難拚，

悔不當時留住。

其奈風流端正外，

更別有系人心處。

一日不思量，

也攢眉千度。

TUNE: JOY OF DAY AND NIGHT

In nuptial bed for the first time we met,

I thought forever we’d together get.

The short-lived joy of love, who would believe?

Soon turned to parting that would grieve.

When late spring has grown old and soon takes leave,

I see a riot of catkins and flowers

Fallen in showers.

I am afraid all the fine view

Would go with you.

To whom may I complain of my solitude?

You oft make light of promise you have made.

Had I known the ennui is so hard to elude,

I would then have you stayed.

What I can’t bear to think, your gallantry apart,

Is something else in you captivating my heart.

If one day I don’t think of it,

A thousand times it would make my brows knit.
