李清照·《菩萨蛮·归鸿声断残云碧》英译

归鸿声断残云碧，背窗雪落炉烟直。烛底凤钗明，钗头人胜轻。

角声催晓漏，曙色回斗牛。春意看花难，西风留旧寒。

Tune: "Buddhist Dancers"

Returning swans not heard, clouds break in azure skies;
Snow falls from window-sill, straight I see incense rise.
In candlelight my phoenix hairpin bright
Can't hold up golden flowers light.

The horns announce daybreak is near;
The twilight wanes, stars disappear.
Flowers won't bloom in early spring:
In the west wind cold's lingering.

（许渊冲 译）
