三臺令·明月

——馮延巳

明月！明月！照得離人愁絕。更深影入空床，

不道帷屏夜長。長夜！長夜！夢到庭花陰下。

The Bright Moon

(to the tune of San Tai Ling)

by Feng Yansi (903-960)

The bright moon, the bright moon!

You have stirred up my homesickness.

You shine into my half-empty bed,

In this depth of night,

And never care about the tediousness,

Behind my bed curtains.

Long night, long night!

A dream takes me to the shadow of flowers in the

courtyard.
