玉蝴蝶·望處雨收云斷英譯

望處雨收云斷，憑闌悄悄，目送秋光。晚景蕭疏，堪動宋玉悲涼。水風輕，蘋花漸老，月露冷、梧葉飄黃。遣情傷。故人何在，煙水茫茫。
難忘，文期酒會，幾孤風月，屢變星霜。海闊山遙，未知何處是瀟湘。念雙燕、難憑遠信，指暮天、空識歸航。黯相望。斷鴻聲里，立盡斜陽。

Jade Butterfly

No rain nor clouds in sight,Silent on rails I leanTo see off late autumn serene.Lonely in the evening twilight,Even the ancient poet would feel sad and cold.The water rippled by the breeze,The duckweed gradually grows old.The dew shed by the moon would freezeAnd yellow waft the plane-tree leaves.How longing grieves!Where is now my old friend?Far and wide mist and waves extend.

Can I forgetThe verse-composing and wine-drinking when we met?How many moonlit nights were passed in vain?How often stars and frost have changed again?The sky is wide, the sea is far,I cannot go to River Xiao Xiang where you are.A pair of swallows fly.Could they bring me a letter from you?I point to evening sky.To what avail returns the sail I knew?At dusk I gaze far, far awayUntil I hear no more wild geese’s song.I stand there longUntil the sun has shed all its departing ray.
