葬花吟
As blossoms fade and fly the sky , Who pities the fade red , the scent that has been ? softly the gossamer floats over spring pavilions Gently the willow fulff wafts to the embrolded screen
[ 花谢花飞飞漫天 红消香断有谁怜 游丝软系飘春榭 落絮轻沾扑绣帘 ]
A girl in her chamber mourns the passing of spring , No relief from anxiety her poor heart know : Hoe in hand she steps through her portal Loath to tread on the blossom as she comes and goes
[ 闺中女儿惜春暮 愁绪满怀无着处 手把花锄出绣帘 忍踏落花来复去 ]
Willows and elms , fresh and verdant Care not if oeach and plum blossom drift away , Next year the peach and plum will bloom again But her chamber may stand empty on that day
[ 柳丝榆荚自芳菲 不管桃飘与李飞 桃李明年能再发 明年闺中知有谁 ]
By the third month the scented nests are built But the swallows on the beam are heart less all Next year though once again you may peck the buds From the beam of an empty yoom your nest will fall
[ 三月香巢初垒成 梁间燕子太无情 明年花发虽可啄 却不道人去梁空巢已倾 ]
Each year for three hundred and sixty days The cutting wind and biting frost contend How long can beauty flower fresh and fair ? In a single day wind can whirl it to its end
[ 一年三百六十日 风刀霜剑严相逼 明媚鲜艳能几时 一朝飘泊难寻觅 ]
Fallen , brightest blooms are hard to find with aching heart their grave-digger comes now Alone , her hoe in hand her secret tears Falling like drops of blood on each bare bough
[ 花开易见落难寻 阶前愁杀葬花人 独把花锄偷洒泪 洒上空枝见血痕 ]
Duck falls and the cuckoo is silent Her hoe byought back the lodge is locked and still A green lamp lights the wall as sleep enfolds her Cold rain pelts the casement and her quite is chill
[ 杜鹃无语正黄昏 荷锄归去掩重门 青灯照壁人初醒 冷雨敲窗被未温 ]
What causes my two-fold anguish ? Love for spring and resentment of spring ; For suddenly it comes and suddenly goes , Its arrival unheralded , noiseless its departing [
怪侬底事倍伤神 半为怜春半恼春 怜春忽至恼忽去 至又无言去无闻 ]
Last night from the courtyard floated a sad song--- Was it the soul of blossom , the soul of birds ? Hard to detain the soul of blooms or birds . For blossoms have no assurance , bird no words
[ 昨宵庭外悲歌发 知是花魂与鸟魂 花魂鸟魂总难留 鸟自无言花自羞]
I long to take wing and fly with the flowers to earth's uttermost bound ; And yet at earth's uttermost bound where can a fragrant burial mound be found?
[ 愿侬此日生双翼 随风飞到天尽头 天尽头 何处有香丘 ]
Better shroud the fair petals in silk with clean earth for their outer attire ; For pure you came and pure shall go , Not sinking into some foul ditch or mire
[ 未若锦囊收艳骨 一吥净土掩风流 质本洁来还洁去 不教污浊陷渠沟 ]
Now you are dead I come to bury you ; None has divined the day when I shall die ; Men laugh at my folly in buring fallen flowers But who will bury me when I lie ?
[ 尔今死去侬收葬 未卜侬身何日丧 侬今葬花人笑痴 他年葬侬知是谁? ]
See , when spring draws to a close and flowers fall , This is the seson when the beauty mast ebb and fade ; The day that spring takes wing and beauty fades Who will care for the fallen blossom or dead maid
[ 试看春残花渐落 便是红颜老死时 一朝春尽红颜老 花落人亡两不知
