晏几道·《鹧鸪天·醉拍春衫》英译

醉拍春衫惜旧香，

天将离恨恼疏狂。

年年陌上生秋草，

日日楼中到夕阳。

云渺渺，水茫茫。

征人归路许多长。

相思本是无凭语，

莫向花笺费泪行。

Drunk, I caress my robe which smells sweet as of old;

Heaven would vex me with parting grief wild and cold.

From year to year green grass will yellow by roadside;

From day to day my bower’s drowned in eventide.

Cloud on cloud passes by

O’er water far and nigh.

How long’s my roamer’s homeward way?

Could I express my longing night and day?

Oh, shed no tears on what you’ll say!
