陈亮·《虞美人·张帆欲去》英译

大光祖席，醉中赋长短句

张帆欲去仍搔首，

更醉君家酒。

吟诗日日待春风，

及至桃花开后却匆匆。

歌声频为行人咽，

记著樽前雪。

明朝酒醒大江流，

满载一船离恨向衡州。

The Beautiful Lady Yu

Written while Drunk in a Farewell Feast

Chen Liang

Setting sail, I will go but still I scratch my hair,

Drunk with your wine and care.

We’ve waited for spring breeze, crooning verse day by day;

But when peach blossoms blow, in haste I’ll go away.

The songstress sobs when I’m about to go.

Can I forget, wine cup in hand, her song of snow?

When I awake tomorrow, the river still flows;

Laden with parting grief, the ship still southward goes.
