欧阳修 春艳艳 江上晚山三四点 O Colourful, colourful Spring!



《歸自謠·艳艳·欧阳修/五代·馮延己(?)





   春。江上晚山三四


      柳丝如剪花如



   
   香闺寂寂门半


      愁眉,泪珠滴破胭脂






TUNE:   Guī Zì Yáo "My Own Song of 
                Returning" (34-character Ci)
TITLE: "O Colourful, Colourful Spring!"
-- by OUYANG XIU (1007-1072)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue


O Colourful, colourful Spring!
At dusk, above the quiet river hazy,
Three or four dots of vibrant hills 
                                    (one might see).
Willow ribbons floating like swallow tails,
Flowers dyed pink and red by wine and ale!


Her boudoir so lonely, lonely!
Waiting door left ajar, only.
Brows tightly knit by sorrow,
Teardrops streaming down the face rouge
(-- Like there is no tomorrow) !

羡魚兄,早安!

欣賞英譯!
一部份詞家認為此《歸自謠》詞乃五代人馮延己所作。

  1. Beautiful beautiful Spring.
    On the river against the sunset hill three four dots are posting,
    Willow leave like swallow tail swaying, flower looks like colourful dyeing.
    The lady’s house doors are half hatching,
    Sorrow eye brows seems frowning,
    Tear drops ruin a rouge face breaking
