王元鼎·《醉太平·寒食其一》英译

花飞时雨残，

帘卷处春寒。

夕阳楼上望长安，

洒西风泪眼。

几时睚彻凄惶限，

几时盼得南来雁。

几番和月凭阑干，

多情人未还。

The Cold Food Day

To the Tune of Intoxication in Peace

Wang Yuanding

Petals are dancing and pit-a-pat’s fading,

Rolling up the curtain and spring chill’s coming.

Gazing into Chang’an from the sunset-bathed tower,

Tears streaming down her face against the zephyr.

How to endure to the end the dreary days I wander,

After the advent of swans from the south I hanker.

The railing is my favorite haunt in the moonlight,

Longing for the return of my lover.

（周方珠 译）
