生查子 – 欧阳修
Lyrics to the tune of Shengzhazi – Ouyang Xiu
去年元夜时,Last year, during the New Year’s Lantern Festival,
花市灯如昼。 The lanterns lining the streets were lit up as bright as daylight.
月到柳梢头,When the moon reached the tips of the willow trees,
人约黄昏后。That was the time we arranged to meet after dusk.
今年元夜时, This year, during the New Year’s Lantern Festival,
月与灯依旧。 The moon and the lanterns are still the same.
不见去年人, But I don’t see the person I met with last year.
泪满春衫袖。 Tears drench the sleeves of my spring tunic.
