张可久《折桂令 次韵》

折桂令
 次韵

张可久

唤西施伴我西游，

客路依依，

烟水悠悠。

翠树啼鹃，

青天旅雁，

白雪盟鸥[1]。

人倚梨花病酒，

月明杨柳维舟。

试上层楼，

绿满江南，

红褪春愁。




注释：

[1]盟鸥：与鸥鸟为盟友，比喻隐退。

Tune: Plucking Laurel Branch
 Rhyming with a Friend

Zhang Kejiu

I'd call the Beauty to go to the west with me.

How can I not delay on the winding long way

Along the careless mist-veiled stream, carefree?

The cuckoos cry amid green trees,

The blue sky streaked by wild geese,

The gulls are friendly with snow white.

Drunk, I lean on pear trees in blossoms bright,

But willow trigs cannot tie the boat with moonlight.

I try to go upstairs to gaze far, far away,

But find the Southern Rivershore with green overspread

And vernal grief fading in fallen red.
