雙語 ●勸人深酒杯

更漏子

錦筵紅，

羅幕翠，

侍宴美人姝麗。

十五六，

解憐才，

勸人深酒杯。

黛眉長，

檀口小?

耳畔向人輕道：

“柳陰曲，

是兒家，

門前紅杏花。”

TUNE: SONG OF WATER CLOCK

The banquet spread in red

With silken screen in green,

Attended by maidens fair

Of fifteen or sixteen,

Alone she knows to care

For talents fine and fill my cup with wine.

With long brows green

And small mouth, she would lean

On me and whisper in my ear:

“The winding willowy way is near

The house where you’ll find me.

In front there is a blossoming apricot tree.”
