双语 ●今古柳桥多送别

江南柳

隋堤远，

波急路尘轻。

今古柳桥多送别，

见人分袂亦愁生，

何况自关情。

斜照后，

新月上西城。

城上楼高重倚望，

愿身能似月亭亭，

千里伴君行。

TUNE: WILLOWS ON SOUTHERN SHORE

On far-flung river shore

Light dust is raised when waves in haste roll by.

There’re many farewells on willowy bridge as of yore.

It is sad to see others part;

To sever from one’s own would break the heart.

After sundown,

The new moon peers at western town.

Again I gaze afar in tower high,

Wishing to follow you like slender moon

From mile to mile lest you feel lone.
