Lu You's The Phoenix Hairpin (For His Former Lover)釵頭鳳- 陸游 桃花落 閒池阁 山盟雖在 锦書難托 Poem by Frank Yue

(To the Tune of)The Phoenix Hairpin Ci
- Lu You (Song)

Red-sleeved, sensuous hand;
Yellow wine for this man!
Spring is in the air ov'r the whole city;
Behind palace wall's the willow pretty.
O Stop blowing, cruel east wind -
Love and ecstasy ne'er redeem'd!
A chestful of endless sorrow -
Separated for years with no to-morrow!
Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Like other Springs, Spring remain;
But you grow thinner in vain.
Tears soak up red silk handkerchief with stain.
Peach-blossoms fall
By lonesome pavilion next to pond small;
Like the mountain stands firm our eternal vow,
But sending you a letter is not allow'd!
No, no, no!

釵頭鳳 - 陸游

红酥手，黄藤酒，满城春色宫牆柳。
东風惡，歡情薄。
一懐愁绪，幾年离索。
错、错、错。

春如舊，人空瘦，淚痕红浥鲛绡透。
桃花落，閒池阁，山盟雖在，锦書難托。
莫、莫、莫。
