雙語 ● 乍涼秋氣滿屏幃

TUNE: PARTRIDGE IN THE SKY

鷓鴣天

Red flames of burned-up candle shed flickering light,

一點殘紅欲盡時，

In chilly autumn air are drowned the screens in view.

乍涼秋氣滿屏幃。

The drizzle drips on plane trees at the dead of night,

梧桐葉上三更雨，

Drop by drop, leaf on leaf remind me of your adieu.

葉葉聲聲是別離。

We played on zither dear,

調寶瑟，

Incense from burner rose,

撥金猊，

Singing the lovebirds’ song, together we stayed close.

那時同唱鷓鴣詞。

Tonight wind and rain rage in western bower drear,

如今風雨西樓夜，

How can I not shed tears

不聽清歌也淚垂。
