雙語 ● 柳外高樓空斷魂

TUNE: THE PRINCE RECALLED

憶王孫

SONG OF SPRING

春詞

Luxuriant grass reminds me of my roving mate.

萋萋芳草憶王孫，

In vain my heart breaks in willow-shaded tower high.

柳外高樓空斷魂。

“Better go home!” How could I bear the cuckoo’s cry!

杜宇聲聲不忍聞。

The evening is growing late,

欲黃昏，

The rain beats on pear blossoms, I shut up the gate.

雨打梨花深閉門。
