雙語 ● 萬籟收聲天地靜

TUNE: SHORTENED FORM OF MAGNOLIA FLOWER

THE LUTE

Leisurely and tranquil,

When all voices are hushed, the sky and earth seem still.

Before a tune is played

By fingers and lute of jade, its feeling is conveyed.

The breeze saddens the stream,

The lute exhales an unfulfilled eternal dream.

Sleepless when back, I hear

It’s music lingering all night long in the ear.

減字木蘭花

琴

神閑意定，

萬籟收聲天地靜。

玉指冰弦，

未動宮商意已傳。

悲風流水，

寫出寥寥千古意。

歸去無眠，

一夜余音在耳邊。
