晏几道·《鹧鸪天·彩袖殷勤》英译

当年拚却醉颜红。

舞低杨柳楼心月，

歌尽桃花扇底风。

从别后，

忆相逢，

几回魂梦与君同。

今宵剩把银釭照，

犹恐相逢是梦中。

Florid Sleeves

(To the Tune of Zhegutian)

Yan Jidao

Holding the jade cup to you,

with my arms reaching

out of the florid sleeves,

I was so happy drinking with you,

heedless of my flushed cheeks, dancing

with the moon sinking

in the willow trees, singing

until I was too tired

to wave the fan that unfolds

a peach blossom.

How I have since missed you,

dreaming of meeting you again and again.

Tonight, I keep turning the silver lamp

to your face. Oh, we are really meeting
