长相思（之二）

李白

日色已尽花含烟， 月明欲素愁不眠。

赵瑟初停凤凰柱， 蜀琴欲奏鸳鸯弦。

此曲有意无人传， 愿随春风寄燕然。

忆君迢迢隔青天， 昔日横波目，

今成流泪泉。

不信妾肠断， 归来看取明镜前。

ENDLESS YEARNING¹ II

Li Bai

"The sun has set, and a mist is in the flowers;

And the moon grows very white and people sad and sleepless².

A Zhao harp³ has just been laid mute on its phoenix⁴ holder⁵,

And a Shu lute⁶ begins to sound its mandarin-duck strings⁷....

Since nobody can bear to you the burden of my song,

Would that it might follow the spring wind to Yanran Mountain.

I think of you far away, beyond the blue sky,

And my eyes that once were sparkling

Are now a well of tears.

...Oh, if ever you should doubt this aching of my heart,

Here in my bright mirror come back and look at me!"
