Ode on Love (1) to the tune of Young Spring
阳春曲·题情（一）
To express what I have in mind gently I use the bamboo brush.
轻拈斑管书心事，
On pieces of snow-white writing pad my inner-most feelings gush.
细折银笺写恨词，
Alas, I really cannot bear lovesickness in the hush.
可怜不惯害相思。
The promise "Yes" you have made to me again and again.
则被你个肯字儿，
Tantalizingly flirts with me now and then.
迤逗我许多时。
