李煜·《一解珠》英译

晓妆初过，
浓檀轻注些儿个。
向人微露丁香颗。
一曲清歌，
暂引樱桃破。

罗袖裛残殷色可，
杯深旋被香醪涴。
绣床斜凭娇无那，
烂嚼红茸，
笑向檀郎唾。

A Scarlet Thread
(To the Tune of Yihuzhu)

A finishing touch
to her morning make-up,
she applies a drop of sandalwood rouge
at the corner of her mouth,
a smile revealing her white teeth
like buddling lilac, a fresh song popping
a cherry of her red lips.

The musk slightly faint,
her red satin sleeves wet with the sweet wine
filled and refilled in her cup,
reclining
on the embroidered bed, infinitely
alluring, chewing a scarlet thread,
she spits it, smiling, at his face.
