浪淘沙·帘外雨潺潺

To the tune of LangTaoSha (Waves sifting sands)

 Beyond window, it rains heavily

词/李煜  英译/黎历

By Li Yu (The Five Dynasties)

 /Tr. By Lily

帘外雨潺潺，

春意阑珊。

罗衾不耐五更寒。

梦里不知身是客，

一晌贪欢。

Beyond window heavily raining it has been

Tapering is the spring scene

Satin quit doesn’t stand dawn chill so keen

Only by forgetting myself as a captive                    

I can enjoy brief pleasure in a dream seen                 

独自莫凭栏，

无限江山，

别时容易见时难。

流水落花春去也，

天上人间。

To look afar alone on rails don’t lean                    

Unlimited the view of landscape has been                    

Easier to leave it than to revisit its mien                  

As a fallen flower on running water, spring fades          

All things are changing in heaven and earth between
