西江月

蘇 軾

玉骨那愁瘴霧，

冰肌自有仙風。

海仙時遣探芳叢，

倒挂綠毛么鳳。    

素面常嫌粉涴，

洗妝不褪唇紅。

高情已逐曉雲空，

不與梨花同夢。

玉骨那愁瘴霧，冰肌自有仙風。

Her intrinsic qualities can ward off unhealthy mist.

Her graceful appearance reveals the elegance of a fairy.

海仙時遣探芳叢，倒挂綠毛么鳳。    

The sea fairy frequently sends a messenger

to visit the fragrant grove.

A colorful little bird with green feathers

is seen in upside-down pose.

素面常嫌粉涴，洗妝不褪唇紅。

Her natural face often loathes the stains of powder.

Washing her toilette won’t diminish her lips’ red color.

高情已逐曉雲空，不與梨花同夢。

My heart is already gone emptied in the sky,

chasing the morning cloud.

How can it be with the pear flowers

in the same dream now?

A Plum Blossom

Washing her toilette won’t diminish her lips’ red color.

My heart is already gone emptied in the sky, chasing the morning cloud.
