王观·《木兰花令》英译

铜驼陌上新正后，

第一风流除是柳。

勾牵春事不如梅，

断送离人强似酒。

东君有意偏撋就，

惯得腰肢真个瘦。

阿谁道你不思量，

因甚眉头长恁皱。

Song of Magnolia Flower

Wang Guan

On the pathway after the spring day

The first to waft in breeze are willow trees,

Not so attractive to spring as mume blooms divine

But to those who part more heart-breaking than wine.

The Sun God in the East has for you a love tender;

He's fond of your waist slender.

No lady could forget you now

When she unknits her leaf-like brow.
