金 缕 衣 - 無名氏（唐）

劝君莫惜金缕衣，

劝君须惜少年时。

有花堪折直须折，

莫待无花空折枝。

relish gold-lined clothes not

but golden time a lot.

when thou canst, pick the blooms,

not till on twigs all dooms

V.

relish gold-lined clothes not

but golden time a lot.

pick the blooms while thou canst,

not till they’re black with rot.

V3.

relish not gold-lined clothes

but golden time a lot.

pick the blooms while thou canst,

not till they’re black with rot.

Tr. Ziyuzile
