Autumn Thoughts at the South of the City to the tune of Parrot
鹦鹉曲·城南秋思
I live in the south of the city when it is cool,
新凉时节城南住，
And often read Confucius under a lamplight.
灯火诵鲁国尼父。
Autumn comes, I would feel sad as would Song Yu① do,
到秋来宋玉生悲，
No longer compose poetry for love and delight.
不赋高唐云雨。
Drop by drop, the autumn rain beats the banana leave,
〔么〕一声声只在芭蕉，
As if sending off him who takes leave.
断送别离人去。
Willow braches② by the river bridge are all broken,
甚河桥柳树全疏，
Watching wayside pavilions I feel my griefs woken.
恨正在长亭短处。
① Song Yu: a scholar and writer in Warring Period, whose work entitled "Nine Defenses" begins with an elegy to the sad autumn.
② A willow branch was often used by the ancient Chinese as a token of sending off one's dear ones or best friend.
