卜算子
答施[1]
乐婉
相思似海深,
旧事如天远。
泪滴千千万万行,
更使人、
愁肠断。
要见无因见,了拼终难拼[2]。
若是前生未有缘,
待重结、来生愿。
注释:
[1]施:指情人施酒监。这是一首赠答之词。
[2]了拼终难拼:与其仍抱无指望的爱,真不如死掉这条心。可是,真要死掉这条心,又哪是那么容易的呢?
Song of Divination
· In Reply to Her Love
Le Wan
My love is deep as the sea high;
The past is far away as the sky.
The thousand streams of tears I shed
Make me heart-broken and half dead.
If I cannot see you again,
Why don’t we cut to kill my pain?
If we are fated not to be man and wife,
Let us be married in another life!
注释:
The songstress writes this lyric in reply to an official whom she loves and who writes on his departure from her the following lyric:
Our love was deep when we first met. Why not earlier so we may not regret? A thousand songstresses I knew, but no one is as good as you. I leave you to go on my way. l’m much grieved, but what can I say? You’d lean on rails of your bower, alas! And shed tears on sweet grass.
