徐燦·《南唐浣溪沙·十五夜》
暖淺寒輕夜氣和,
踏春紅袂試纖羅。
月似美人慵欲睡,
暈橫波。
懶逐香塵看火樹,
自箋新調(diào)當(dāng)笙歌。
半側(cè)流霞三兩爵,
不須多。
Nantang huan xi sha:
The Night of the Fifteenth
Xu Can
The warmth is faint, the chill light, the night air mild;
Picking a red dress for my spring jaunt, I try on sheer gauze.
The moon is like a languid beauty about to sleep,
Its halo diffusing waves.
Too idle to follow the fragrant dust or watch the splendid lights,
I write new verses in place of pipes and songs.
Half-leaning toward the flowing clouds, two or three cups
No need for more.
