李煜·《望江梅》英译

一

闲梦远，
南国正芳春。
船上管弦江面绿，
满城飞絮滚轻尘。
忙杀看花人。

二

闲梦远，
南国正清秋。
千里江山寒色远，
芦花深处泊孤舟。
笛在月明楼。

Tune: "Gazing on the South"

I

My idle dream goes far:
In fragrant spring the southern countries are.
Sweet music from the boats on the green river floats;
Fine dust and willow down run riot in the town.
It is the busy hours for admirers of flowers.

II

My idle dream goes far:
In autumn clear the southern countries are.
For miles and miles a stretch of hills in chilly hue,
Amid the reeds is moored a lonely boat in view.
In moonlit tower a flute is played for you.
