皇甫松·《忆江南·兰烬落》英译

兰烬落，

屏上暗红蕉。

闲梦江南梅熟日，

夜船吹笛雨萧萧，

人语驿边桥。

Huangfu Song

As remnants of rush-light begin to fade,

Painted flowers on bed-screen show a dark shade.

In idleness, I indulge in day-dream:

Of night boats plashing their oars in a stream;

Of plum blossoms ripening into fruit;

Floating in the air, the notes of a flute;

Light rain pattering on the village ground;

From the bridge, familiar voices sound.
