云龛子·《中吕·迎仙客·竹风轻》英译

竹风轻，

花影重，

酩酊一瓯琴三弄。

露玄机，

藏妙用，

槐坛将相，

看破浮生梦。

[Chung-lü] Tune: “Greeting the Immortal Guest” (Ying hsien-k’e)

Yün-k’an Tzu

Light wind in bamboo

deep flower shadows, drinking

a cup of strong brew, striking

a couple of lute chords

reveal world’s dark contrivance

hoard marvels I may use

dream an empire of ants

wake to know the world is vapor

is a dream.
