李煜·《浣溪纱·红日已高三丈透》英译

红日已高三丈透，
金炉次第添香兽，
红锦地衣随步皱。

佳人舞点金钗溜，
酒恶时拈花蕊嗅，
别殿遥闻箫鼓奏。

Tune: "Silk-washing Stream"

Above the thirty-foot-high flagpole shines the sun;
Incense is added to gold burners one by one;
Red carpets wrinkle as each dancing step is done.

Fair dancers let gold hairpins drop with rhythm fleet;
Drunk, maidens oft inhale the smell of flowers sweet;
From hall to hall fute's heard to play and drum to beat.

（许渊冲 译）
