陳天機 愛見山青湖碧 輕雨枝頭初瀝 We love looking at mountains green

陳天機 調寄 如夢令年晚小白鷺勝地微雨

     愛見山青湖
     輕雨枝頭初
     攜手倚闌干,
     不羨彩凰飛
     ,涓
     點點新春消


Tune: Like A Dream
Title: Year-end at Little Egret Point in Drizzle 
-- by 陳天機 Chen Tien-Chi (Chen Tienji),               Emeritus Professor in Computer Science & Engineering,
    The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

We love looking at mountains green
And the lake aquamarine;
With long drizzles, the branches now begin dripping.
Hand-in-hand, on the railing we are leaning;
O! Envy not the pair of phoenix flying.

Pitter-patter,
Pitter-patter --
News of early Spring
Each rain-drop does bring!
