洞仙歌·冰肌玉骨英譯

入蜀主孟昶宮中。一日大熱，蜀主與花蕊夫人夜起避暑摩訶池上，作一詞。朱具能記之。今四十年，朱已死，人無(wú)知此詞者。但記其首兩句，暇日尋味，豈洞仙歌令乎，乃為足之
冰肌玉骨，自清涼無(wú)汗。水殿風(fēng)來(lái)暗香滿。繡簾開(kāi)、一點(diǎn)明月窺人，人未寢、欹枕釵橫鬢亂。
起來(lái)攜素手，庭戶無(wú)聲，時(shí)見(jiàn)疏星渡河漢。試問(wèn)夜如何，夜已三更，金波淡、玉繩低轉(zhuǎn)。但屈指、西風(fēng)幾時(shí)來(lái)，又不道、流年暗中偷換。

SU Shi – Lyrics to the Melody of an Immortal Who Lived in a Cave

With skin like ice and bones like jade,She perspires not looking cool and refreshed.From the hall by the water waft breezes full of subtle scents.Through the drawn embroidered curtains, the moon sneaks a look of her,She hasn't retired for the night, askew are the her pillow and hairpins in her hair.

I rise to take her delicate hand, quiet is the courtyard and its environs,A star or two the Milky Way cross between whiles.How deep is the night, wonder I?Approaching midnight is the time,Moonlight pales as the northern stars low slide.I count with my fingers when the season of westerlies would arrive,Before I could become aware of it, lapsed has fleeting time.
