紛紛墜葉飄香砌,
夜寂靜,
寒聲碎。
真珠簾卷玉樓空,
天淡銀河垂地。
年年今夜,
月華如練,
常是人千里。
愁腸已斷無由醉,
酒未到,
先成淚。
殘燈明滅枕頭欹,
諳盡孤眠滋味。
都來此事,
眉間心上,
無計相回避。
Withered leaves fall o’er fragrant steps shower by shower;
In night so still,
The sound seems chill.
The beaded curtain rolled up shows an empty bower.
The sky is so serene,
The Silver River hangs like Heaven’s screen.
From year to year, this night
In silvery moonlight,
We’re thousand miles apart.
I can’t get drunk for broken is my heart;
Before I drink, wine turn to tears.
I lean on my pillow by flickering lamplight,
Drowned in the grief of lonely night.
Such deep grief as appears
On the brows or the heart
Cannot be put apart.
