李清照·《玉楼春·红酥肯放琼苞碎》英译

红酥肯放琼苞碎，探著南枝开遍末？不知酝藉几多香？但见包藏无限意。

道人憔悴春窗底，闷损阑干愁不倚。要来小酌便来休，未必明朝风不起。

Tune: "Spring in Jade Pavilion"

The red mume blossoms let their jade-like buds unfold.
Try to see if all sunny branches are in flower!
I do not know how much fragrance they enfold,
But I see the infinite feeling they embower.

You say I languish by the window without glee,
Reluctant to lean on the rails, laden with sorrow.
Come if you will to drink a cup of wine with me!
Who knows if the wind won't spoil the flowers tomorrow?
