| Qingping Melody In Three Parts (No.2) |
|
Li Bo 699-762
Clouds glorify her clothes flowers flatter her looks, Spring breeze strokes the olive trees dewdrops dense. If you don't see her on Jade Peak, then surely on Jasper Terrace under the moon. One glittering vermillion branch scent of dewdrops, Cloud-rain coitus on Wushan cruelly splits a man's gut. If you ask, in the Han Palace Who can compare? Pitiful Flying Swallow at her makeup table. Fabled flower, nation's downfall mutually tittilate, His Majesty, endlessly befuddled by her smile. Who can explain the spring wind infinite regret, On Sandalwool Pavillion they moon by the railing. |

Yún xiǎng yīshang huā xiǎng róng, Chūnfēng fúlǎn lùhuá nóng. Ruòfēi qún Yùshāntóu jiàn, Huì xiàngyáotái yuè xià féng Yī zhī hóng yàn lù níng xiāng, Yúnyǔ Wūshān wǎng duàn cháng. Jièwèn Hàngōng shéi de sì,Kělián Feiyàn yǐ xīnzhuāng. Mīnghuā qīngguó liǎngxiang huān, Chāng dé Jùnwáng dàixiào kàn. Jiěshì chūnfēng wúxiàn hèn, Chénxiāng tíng běi yǐ lángān. |
