(103) Heart-broken Song
哭亡姬乔氏
Li Yu (1611-1685)
李渔
The bygones one and all like dreams have passed away;
各事纷纷一笔销，
I'd live with fishermen in thatched cot night and day.
安心莲户伴渔樵。
Can I forget your tenderness like endless thread?
赠予宛转情千缕，
Could I repay you with a stream of tears I shed?
偿汝零星泪一瓢。
If in another life we could be man and wife,
偕老愿终来世约，
I would live with delight my lonely day and night.
独栖甘度可怜宵。
Do not tell me to marry a beauty anew!
休言再觅同心侣，
Could I find one on earth who knows my heart like you?
岂复人间有二乔！
