雙語 ● 世事一場大夢

TUNE: THE MOON OVER THE WEST RIVER

Like dreams pass world affairs untold,

How many autumns in our life are cold!

My corridor is loud with wind-blown leaves at night.

See my brows frown and hair turn white!

Of my poor wine few guests are proud;

The bright moon is oft veiled in cloud.

Who would enjoy with me the mid-autumn moon lonely?

Winecup in hand, northward I look only.

西江月

世事一場大夢，

人生幾度秋涼。

夜來風葉已鳴廊，

看取眉頭鬢上。

酒賤常愁客少，

月明多被云妨。

中秋誰與共孤光？

把盞凄然北望。
