金昌绪 打起黃鶯兒,莫教枝上啼。 O, Chase those golden nightingales away! They must not chirp, keep chirping, up my tree.

【春怨】   金昌緒    金昌绪

 

打起黃鶯兒,     打起黄莺儿,
莫教枝上啼。     莫教枝上啼。
啼時驚妾夢,     啼时惊妾梦,
不得到遼西。     不得到辽西。
 


CHUAN YUAN: “SPRING LAMENT” 

-- by JIN CHANGXU
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

O, Chase those golden nightingales away!

They must not chirp, keep chirping, up my tree.
Their chirping wakes me, in dream I cannot stay,
Reach not my Love a-soldiering, guarding Liaoxi!
