Lotus-pickers to the tune of Enjoyment on the Peaceful Lake
平湖乐·采菱人
Amid the autumn smoke are heard the lotus-plucking girls, charm,
采菱人语隔秋烟,
Like a white ribbon the water looks calm.
波静如横练。
Be careful not to this beautiful scene destroy,
入手风光莫流转,
Together we stay and ourselves enjoy,
共留连,
In painted boats are smiling faces like spring so fair,
画船一笑春风面。
Indeed, this land is beautiful beyond compare.
江山信美,
Alas, it's not my native place I roam.
终非吾土,
And wonder when I can be back at my home?
问何日是归年?
