卜算子 咏梅

Ode to mume blossom.

Tune:Song of divination

(许渊冲译)

Then spring departed in wind and rain;

With flying snow it's back again.

风雨送春归，飞雪迎春到。

Though icicles from beetling cliff still hang miles long,

One flowers sweet and fair is there among.

已是悬崖百丈冰，犹有花枝俏。

Though sweet and fair, with other flowers she won't rival,

But only heralds spring's arrival.

俏也不争春，只把春来报。

When mountain flowers run riot for miles and miles.

Among them she will be all smiles.

待到山花烂漫时，她在丛中笑。

(Tr by Xu Yuanchong.)
