Tune to Sheng Sheng Man



李清照

Looking for something again and again,

desolate after desolate,

sad by sad,

miserable and miserable，

I was so unhappy and worried.

寻寻觅觅， 冷冷清清， 凄凄惨惨戚戚。

It was most hard to recuperate myself

during the weather of suddenly got warm and again turned to cold.

乍暖还寒时候， 最难将息。

A few cups of weak wine,

how could help me withstand the terrible wind of night ?

三杯两盏淡酒 ，怎敌他、晚来风急。

Seeing the wild geese flew across the sky,

it had touched off me most heartrending,

for this scene was just like acquaintance, the time of past.

雁过也， 正伤心，却是旧时相识。

The yellow flowers fallen were heaped on the entire land of courtyard,

thin and pallid to the most,

nobody was willing to pick it at present.

满地黄花堆积， 憔悴损，如今有谁堪摘。

Leaning against the window,

it was hard to me,

alone waiting from daytime to dark.

守着窗儿， 独自怎生得黑。

Let alone a drizzle stroke lightly on the parasol trees，

but to evening, it turned to rain with drop after drop.

梧桐更兼细雨， 到黄昏、点点滴滴。

This scene how could be described

by "worry'', only this one word.

这次第， 怎一个愁字了得！
