万俟咏·《长相思·雨》英译

一声声，

一更更。

窗外芭蕉窗里灯。

此时无限情。

梦难成，

恨难平。

不道愁人不喜听，

空阶滴到明

Rain

–To “Enduring Love”

Moqi Yong

The rain drips and drips!

The hour strikes and strikes!

Outside the window the plantain, inside the window the lamp.

At such a time the feelings are unbounded.

Dreams hard to fashion!

Regrets hard to smooth out!

No wonder a sorrower mislikes to hear:

In the empty courtyard the dripping lasts till dawn.
