李煜·《菩萨蛮·蓬莱院闭天台女》英译

蓬莱院闭天台女，
画堂昼寝人无语。
抛枕翠云光，
绣衣闻异香。

潜来珠锁动，
惊觉银屏梦。
脸慢笑盈盈，
相看无限情。

Tune: "Buddhist Dancers"

An angel's kept secluded in the fairy hill;
She naps in painted hall, so quiet and so still.
Beside the pillow spreads her cloudlike hair pell-mell;
Her broidered dress exhales an exotic sweet smell.

I come in stealth and click the locked pearly door,
Awaking her behind the screen from lovely dreams.
I can't get in but gaze at her face I adore;
She smiles at me, her eyes send out amorous beams.

（许渊冲 译）
