冯延巳·《鹊踏枝·谁道闲情》英译

谁道闲情抛掷久，

每到春来，

惆怅还依旧。

日日花前常病酒，

不辞镜里朱颜瘦。

河畔青芜堤上柳，

为问新愁，

何事年年有？

独立小楼风满袖，

平林新月人归后。

To “Ch’üeh T’a Chih” (II)

Feng Yen-ssu

Who would have thought a carefree heart could be cast away for ever?

Ever year when spring arrives,

Sorrow and remorse abide unchanged.

In bygone days beside the blossoms I was always drunk on wine;

Oh, to avoid the mirrors in which my rosy face grows thin!

Green weeds by river banks, willows on the dikes—

And yet I wonder at new sorrow;

On what account does it arise, year after year?

Standing alone on a tiny pavilion, the wind billowing my sleeves,

And a new moon above the wooded plain after everyone has gone home....

（Daniel Bryant 译）

Tune: Magpie on the Branch

Feng Yansi

Can melancholy, oh! Be laid for long aside?

When comes spring tide,

It will renew.

I’m sick of wine each day with flowers fair in view,

How can a mirrored rosy face not change its hue?

Over the riverside green grass sway willow trees.

I ask why should grief new

Oh! Come from year to year.

I stand alone on lonely bridge with sleeves full of breeze,

When men are gone, the wood sees the new moon appear.
