双语 ● 小楼明月调筝

TUNE: DRUNK IN TIME OF PEACE A FAIR ZITHER PLAYER

醉太平

With heart and mind aspiring high,

情高意真，

With eyebrows long and forehead dark,

眉长鬓青。

In moonlit bower to play on zither I try.

小楼明月调筝，

O vernal wind, O hark!

写春风数声。

I think of you, I long for you, unseen

思君忆君，

Even in my dream, O beloved of mine!

魂牵梦萦。

When incense warms the mica screen,

翠绡香暖熏云屏，

What can I do when I’m awake from wine?

更那堪酒醒！
