雙語 ●斜光到曉穿朱戶

蝶戀花

檻菊愁煙蘭泣露，

羅幕輕寒，

燕子雙飛去。

明月不諳離恨苦，

斜光到曉穿朱戶。

昨夜西風凋碧樹，

獨上高樓，

望盡天涯路。

欲寄彩箋兼尺素，

山長水闊知何處？

TUNE: BUTTERFLIES IN LOVE WITH FLOWERS

Orchids shed tears with doleful asters in mist grey;

Silk curtains chill, a pair of swallows fly away.

The moon, knowing not parting grief, sheds slanting light

Through crimson windows all the night.

Last night the western breeze blew withered leaves off trees.

I mount the tower high and strain my longing eye.

I’ll send a message to my dear,

But endless ranges and streams sever us far and near.
