李煜·《浣溪纱·转烛飘蓬一梦归》英译

转烛飘蓬一梦归，
欲寻陈迹怅人非，
天教心愿与身违。

待月池台空逝水，
荫花楼阁谩斜晖。
登临不惜更沾衣！

Tune: "Silk-washing Stream"

O flickering candle! O wafting tumbleweed!
I wake from a dream like a reed.
I try to find the traces of the past,
But I regret nothing can last.
Heaven would not fulfill
My wish and will.

The running water passes by the bowers
Where we waited for moonbeams.
The slanting sun sheds light on houses strewn with flowers
Reflected in the streams.
Alone on the height I appear.
How can my sleeves not be wet with tear on tear!
