When I want to see you, you won’t appear;
When I want to approach, you won’t come near.
I ask how much love from you I may get,
Afraid it is not much more than regret.
Can I keep back my tears
And refrain from spirits low?
Distress on earth knows no frontiers,
There’s no distress I do not know.
要见不得见，
要近不得近。
试问得君多少怜？
管不解多于恨。
禁止不得泪，
忍管不得闷。
天上人间有底愁，
向个里都谙尽。
