生查子 歐陽修

生查子         歐陽修 (1007-1072)

去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。

月到柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。
今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。
不見去年人，淚滿春衫袖。

 

Sheng Zha Zi                Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072)

On the night of Lantern Festival last year,

Lit up by lanterns as bright as broad daylight in the bazaar,
When the bright moon climbed the willows over;
I had a date with my love in the vesper;
On the same night this year,
The moon and lanterns are as bright as ever,
But I can see my love no more,
Leaving me wiping with the sleeves of my spring clothes my tears.
