晏几道·《采桑子·西楼月下》英译

西楼月下当时见，

泪粉偷匀。

歌罢还颦，

恨隔炉香看未真。

别来楼外垂杨缕，

几换青春。

倦客红尘，

长记楼中粉泪人。

Cai Song Zi

I remember when in the moonlit West Pavilion we met,

You secretly evened the tear-bedewed powder on your cheek;

I remember there and then you sang a song,

And when the song closed, you frowned.

All these, to my regret, were only vaguely viewed

Through the burning incense’ mist.

After our separation, how many times

The willows have put on their vernal green?

A tired traveler in the depth of red dust,
