雙語 ●一曲新詞酒一杯

浣溪沙

一曲新詞酒一杯，

去年天氣舊亭臺，

夕陽西下幾時回？

無可奈何花落去，

似曾相識燕歸來。

小園香徑獨徘徊。

TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

A song filled with new words, a cup filled with old wine,

The bower is last year’s, the weather is as fine.

Will last year reappear as the sun on decline?

Deeply I sigh for the fallen flowers in vain;

Vaguely I seem to know the swallows come again.

In fragrant garden path alone I still remain.
