水调数声持酒听，
午醉醒来愁未醒。
送春春去几时回？
临晚镜，
伤流景，
往事后期空记省。
沙上并禽池上暝，
云破月来花弄影。
重重帘幕密遮灯。
风不定，
人初静，
明日落红应满径。
Wine cup in hand, I listen to Water Melody;
Awake from wine at noon, but not from melancholy.
When will spring come back now it is going away?
In the mirror, alas!
I see happy time pass.
In vain may I recall the old days gone for aye.
Night falls on poolside sand where pairs of lovebirds stay;
The moon breaks through the clouds, with shadows flowers play.
Lamplights veiled by screen on screen can’t be seen.
The fickle wind still blows;
The night so silent grows.
Tomorrow fallen reds should cover the pathway.
