(13) An Excurision Recalled
纪旧游
Zhao Meng-fu (1254-1322)
赵孟頫
On southern shore in late spring orioles flew in riot
三月江南莺乱飞，
Hundreds of flowers bade adieu to willows quiet.
百花开谢柳依依。
The fallen reds and songstress' fans bewitched the eye;
落红无数迷歌扇，
The envious tender green for dancer's robe would sigh.
嫩绿多情妒午依。
In golden censer incense burned on stream at night,
金鸭焚香川上瞑，
My pleasure boat' mid drumbeats came back by moonlight.
画船挝鼓月中归。
But now I'm solitary in the eastern breeze,
如今寂寞东风里，
Wine cup in hand at sunset, silent, ill at ease.
把酒无言对夕晖。
