卜算子
严蕊
不是爱风尘[1],
似被前缘[2]误。
花落花开自有时,
总赖东君[3]主。
去也终须去,
住也如何住!
若得山花插满头,
莫问奴归处。
注释:
[1]风尘:古时称妓女生涯为堕落风尘,妓女为风尘女子。
[2]前缘:前世的因缘,即命中注定。
[3]东君:传说中的司春之神,主管花开花落。这里借指主管妓女的地方官吏。
Song of Divination
Yan Rui
Is it a fallen life I love?
It’s the mistake of fate above.
In time flowers blow, in time flowers fall;
It’s all up to the east wind, all.
By fate! Have to go my way;
If not, where can I stay?
If my head were crowned with flowers,
Do not as me where are my bowers!
