Li QingZhao: Ru Meng Ling

Ru Meng Ling
By Ms. Li QingZhao (Song Dynasty)

Last night, dredging rain and gushing wind,
After a deep sleep I still felt hangover.
Tried to ask the one rolling the curtain,
She said that the crabapple flower still bloom.
But are you aware? Are you aware?
That their green leaves are fatter than the red buds.

(Chinese)
李 清 照 -如 夢 令

昨 夜 雨 疏 風 驟 ,
濃 睡 不 消 殘 酒 。
試 問 卷 廉 人 ,
卻 道 海 棠 依 舊 。
知 否 ? 知 否 ?
應 是 綠 肥 紅 瘦 。

***

Ru Meng Ling
By Laijon Liu

Last night, sweet wine and dense feeling,
So I was too drunk to know where I slept.
Toady I said goodbye to one by the pillow,
But he urged that our love was not done.
Thanks! Thanks!
To his untruthful heart and flattering words.

(Chinese)
如 夢 令 -劉 壘 鐘

昨 夜 酒 香 情 膿 ﹐
沉 醉 不 知 何 處 。
今 別 枕 邊 人
卻 道 恩 愛 未 就 ﹐
謝 了 ! 解 了 !
必 是 意 薄 辭 巧 。
