李煜·《菩萨蛮·花明月黯笼轻雾》英译

花明月黯笼轻雾，
今霄好向郎边去！
衩袜步香阶，
手提金缕鞋。

画堂南畔见，
一向偎人颤。
奴为出来难，
教君恣意怜。

Tune: "Buddhist Dancers"

Bright flowers bathed in thin mist and dim moonlight,
'Tis best time to steal out to see my love tonight.
With stocking feet on fragrant steps I tread,
Holding in hand my shoes sown with gold thread.

We meet south of the painted hall,
And trembling in his arms I fall.
"It's hard for me to come o'er here,
So you may love your fill, my dear!"

（许渊冲 译）
