TUNE: SONG OF A FAIR MAIDEN

MIDNIGHT SONG

The moon at midnight

Shines in mid-court on pear blossoms white.

Pear blossoms white

Can’t stand the flood

Of cuckoos’ tears and blood.

My lord, why should no message come from you?

The mulberries-shaded lanes have swallowed our adieu.

Swallowed our adieu,

The water seems

To sob in streams.

憶秦娥

子夜歌

三更月，

中庭恰照梨花雪。

梨花雪，

不勝凄斷，

杜鵑啼血。

王孫何許音塵絕，

柔桑陌上吞聲別。

吞聲別，

隴頭流水，

替人嗚咽。
