My thoughts waft like gossemer light;
情似游絲,
You’ll go off as willow down flies.
人如飛絮,
In vain we gaze at each other with tearful eyes.
淚珠閣定空相覷。
Thousands of willow twigs hang low by riverside,
一溪煙柳萬絲垂,
But none of them can stop your orchid boat on the tide.
無因系得蘭舟住。
Past setting sun wild geese in flight,
雁過斜陽,
On mist-veiled isle grass lost to sight,
草迷煙渚,
It looks like a boundless ocean of grief and sorrow.
如今已是愁無數(shù)。
But now do not think of what I shall do tomorrow!
明朝且做莫思量,
Alas! how can I pass this endless lonely night.
如何過得今宵去!
