How Many Tears (Gazing at the South)
Li Yu
忆江南·多少泪
李煜 〔五代〕
多少泪,沾袖复横颐。心事莫将和泪说,凤笙休向月明吹,肠断更无疑。(沾袖 一作:断脸;月明 一作:泪时)
How many tears Cut face repeat across cheek Worry not with together tears speak Phoenix flute not to tears time play Heart break more without doubt | How many tears Criss-cross your cheeks and run across your face! Don’t try to speak when worry makes you weep, Nor play the flute when it will bring your tears, Or surely then your heart will break. |
