The Hills See Thin Clouds Pass
—To the Tune of The Court Full of Fragrance
By QIN Guan
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
The hills see thin clouds pass;
The sky borders sear grass.
O'er Town Gate conk sound on and off does go.
I now stop the canoe;
To each other we toast adieu.
How many rosy hours bewitch you?
As in vain I gaze,
All around it is haze.
West of afterglow
Myriads of crows crow
Round the village a stream does flow.
My rues go with my sweet romance;
I drop my sac in trance,
A sign of whimsy prance.
The Rose Tower fame I have gained in vain, vainly won;
When can we meet now from you I'm gone?
My lappet and sleeves,
A sign of how she grieves.
With a saddened frown,
A gaze on the high town
Finds all lamplights in dusk drown.
