鱼玄机·《折杨柳》英译

朝朝送别泣花钿，折尽春风杨柳烟。

愿得西山无树木，免教人作泪悬悬。

Saying Goodbye

Yu Xuanji

Seeing you off day after day,

my tears roll down like florets;

I’ve used up all my farewells

in the misty haze

as the willows sway

in the spring breeze.

I wish I’d find a paradise

where people never part,

so they will never have to cry

these tears that drain the heart.

（Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译）
