王诜·《忆故人》英译

烛影摇红，向夜阑，乍酒醒、心情懒。尊前谁为唱《阳关》，离恨天涯远。

无奈云沉雨散。凭阑干、东风泪眼。海棠开后，燕子来时，黄昏庭院。

Old Friends Recalled

Wang Xian

The candle flickers red

At dead of night,

I wake from wine in bed,

My mind in idle plight.

Who sings before a cup of wine songs of goodbye?

My parting grief goes as far as the sky.

What can I do after you brought fresh shower

For my thirsting flower?

I lean on balustrade,

In eastern breeze my eyes shed tears.

When the crabapple flowers fade,

The swallow disappears,
